Slummesten (also called Kung Götriks sten/King Götrik's Stone) is an impressive standing stone of almost six metres height which is part of Broåsen's burial ground in Grimeton, near Varberg, with relics from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.

Nearby are another three ancient sights (Högaberg Bronze/Iron Age burial ground, Klastorpsdösen, a Stone Age dolmen, and Korsgata Iron Age burial ground).

Here are some of the objects found on the Broåsen site.
