Iron Age grave field in Stockholm consisting of round barrows (7-10 m in diameter and 0.6-1 m high) and numerous stone settings of different shapes.
Text from the information board:
"The cemetery belongs to a former Iron Age farm situated where today Stora Ängby manor is located. This Iron Age cemetery has 68 graves.
The cemetery has 11 mounds, 46 round stone-settings and some oval, rectangular, quadratic and triangular stone-settings. 1939 grave no. 8 was excavated with finds of some shards, nails and burnt bones. The dead persons were usually cremated and the graves were then raised over the pyre.
The road Bällstavägen divided cemetery in two. Some graves were destroyed, when the road was built around 1675. Near the cemetery there is a terrace and some steps from the now disappeared Björklund's croft from the end of the 18th century".
