Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons in September 2011: The site comprises a stone burial cairn, a more recent stone circle with nine stones and some 110 other burial mounds and stone settings. Dates range from 3000 years old in the case of the main cairn through to the 1000 year old Viking burial mounds and stone settings, many of the latter are overgrown now. As at September 2011 none of the burial sites have been excavated. Lelebacken is one of the largest grave fields in Närke. The site is reached by taking the road eastwards from Hallsberg and after 4 kilometres turning north towards Hällabrottet. The site is located 3 kilometres north along this road on the west side of the road just past the left and right turn in the road. There is a car park at the site and detailed site signs.
