Högoms gravfält
Högoms gravfält submitted by Ogneslav : Högoms gravfält. Great mounds #1-3. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Medelpad. This Migration Period cemetery consists of 11 mounds, four of which are 30-40 m in diameter and 4-5 m high. The rest are much smaller: 5-15 m in diameter with a height of 0.3-2 m.

Excavations of three great and two small barrows were carried out in 1949-50, 1954, 1956, 1960 and 1984.

The excavation of the great mound #2 unearthed a chambered cairn with extraordinary rich finds: complete set of weapons, harness, different bronze, glass, ceramic and wooden vessels.

Other investigated great mounds #3 and #4 revealed house foundations beneath. The former contained cairn without burial. Under the mound's top a grave orb was found. Two cremation graves were discovered in the latter one.

A rune stone M 11 is also standing on the site.
