Logårds Kulle (Karleby 59:1) is the northernmost of the three main sites at Karleby and sits in a mound some 27 metres by 11 metres which is 2 metres high and within which an inner mound measuring 15 metres in diameter and a further 1 metre high has been built.

The rectangular chamber is 11 metres long by 2.5 metres wide and is orientated north to south. There are cup marks on each of the 3 capstones. The site was excavated in 1874 and the remains of some 63 individuals were found together with some amber beads, bone imlements and flint flakes.

To reach the site drive east from Falköping on the road towards Åsle and after 3 kilometres turn south. Approximately 3 kilometres down this road you find a car park and detailed site signs on the west side of the road. There is a short footpath to the three main sites here and the one to the north is Logårds Kulle (Karleby 59:1).
