Stone Fort or Dun in Finland
Kämppäkangas 2 Giant’s Church in the Kokkola region is one of around 50 Neolithic stone structures found only in Ostrobothnia in Western Finland. Dated as Stone Age, all Giant's Church structures are recorded as having been built between 2,500 and 2,000 BC.
The official records for the Cultural Environment Agency (CEA) state that Kämppäkangas 2 is an oval structure located on the ridge of a moraine about 350 metres south-east of a forest road. It has inside dimensions of 9.5 by 5.5 metres and 1-2 metre wide walls.
