Cairn and Standing Stones in Västergötland

This site comprises a stone cairn which is 25 metres in diameter and 2.8 metres in height and two stone circles , one originally with 9 stones but now with just 6 standing, and another with just 3 low stones out of its original compliment of 7. Part of the site was restored in 1936 and dates across a wide era from the Neolithic through the Bronze Age and into the Iron Age. The site is located on the west side of the road from Varnhem to Falköping about 3.5 kilometres south of Varnhem. There is a short pathway across the field from the road although parking is problematic on this narrow road. Reference: Riksantikvarieämbetet Fornsök: Norra Lundby 71:1
