Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons in September 2011: Skävesund Gravfält set on the Glanshammar Ridge above the lovely Lake Hemfjärden is one of the largest burial sites in this province. There are around 150 graves dated between 500 BC and 1050 AD although none of the graves have yet been excavated. The graves are mostly stone settings or burial mounds. Some stone settings are round, but others are in the shape of ships, tridents, and arrangements of three standing stones. The location is beautiful and well worth a visit.
