At this site there is also a well preserved 17th century windmill. The ambience of this site is very good, since it is situated at the edge of the ''Stora Alvaret'', a limestone barren ecological zone, which is replete with rare and endangered wildflowers and other biota.
The site contains 2 and a half stone ships, 2 stone circles, 1 rectangular stone setting, 1 irregular stone settings, 2 flat standing stones and a mound. There are 3 flat standing stones across the road.
Directions: Having crossed the 6 km bridge to Öland, continue south on the narrow main road 136, and Gettlinge is right there beside the road after approx 30 km.
