Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons in September 2011: This is a large site reached by a 500 metre walk from the road. There is a site sign with a map and just about enough room to carefuly pull a car onto the grass verge at GPS location 59.57328 N and 16.26264 E. The site covers 150 metres by 60 metres and comprises 35 graves of various types. One ship setting has been restored and makes an impressive entrance to the site. There are stone settings in the form of triangles and squares plus many mounds. The site dates to the Late Iron Age. Reference: Riksantikvarieämbetet Fornsök: Svedvi 192:1
