This site is in a suburb of Falköping. The chamber is approximately 9 metres long and between 1.03 metres and 1.6 metres wide. It sits on a mound which is 18 metres by 14 metres. The site was to have been removed for road works but despite some damage it was saved by the Central Board of Antiquities in 1952. To reach the site drive north from the museum along S:t Olofsgaten, cross the roundabout and go under the rail bridge into Scheelegaten. The site is on the corner of the second road on the right (Torstenssonsgaten).
