Barrow Cemetery in Småland

The burial ground is dated to the Bronze Age, is 110 by 100 meters wide and consists of 26 ancient relics. These consist of five barrows, two with a brim, 13 round stone circles, five rectangular stone circles and two ship-shaped rock formations. A skeppsformig stone circle (not to be confused with the stone ship) is 40 meters long and seven meters wide, and has an edge chain with two distinct stem stones where the west is 1.3 meters high. The largest mound is 21 meters in diameter and three meters high.

In the surroundings there are about 200 scattered graves, usually cairns and stone circles. Even mite piles of stones and carvings have been found. 3,000 years ago, sea level all the way up here and then was probably a significant Bronze Age settlement at the then Baltic coast.

The coördinates are from the skeppsformig stone circle.
