Seven Bronze Age cairns can be found in the nature reserve at the western end of Getterön (Goats Island) peninsula, just west of Varberg city.

They are up to 20 metres in diameter and up to 4 metres in height. They rest on top of a large hill with spectacular views of the surrounding seascape, including some small islands.
