This burial ground covers an area of almost 40 acres and is therefore one of the largest cemeteries in Gotland. There are more than 1000 visible graves from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The exact number is difficult to determine without special maps with accurate assessments. It is sometimes difficult to see where one stone setting ends and the other begins. The most common graves are cairns and low stone-clad graves. The cairns have a diameter of more than 6 m and several have a depression in the middle. One of the graves, in the shape of a sun wheel, was relocated after excavation. See Hjulkorsgraven.
