Stone Circle in Gotland

A stone ship described on the 1:50,000 Swedish topographic map “TERRÄNGKARTEN 540 Ljugarn” as ‘skeppssättning’ (= ship (-shaped stone) setting), also appears in the digital map of RIKSANTIKVARIEÄNVTET (=Swedish National Heritage Board) only when it is enlarged in an adequate scale.

On the field near the entry to a house, this small but fine stone ship lies. On the way to this site, another stone setting of round boulders lies in the same field (57.39245N,18.80851E) but it is not displayed as a ancient site in the digital map of RIKSANTIKVARIEÄNVTET.
