From the Book "Fortidsminder på Bornholm" page 57:
Hjortebakken
På Hjortebakken, eller Skovgårdslunden som den også kaldes, findes 4 store og 15 små bautasten. Særlig bemærkelsesværdige er de 9 små flade bautasten, der er anbragt i en kreds, en såkaldt domarring. Ved en arkæologisk udgravning af domarringen i 1956 fandt man centralt en brandgrube med brændte menneskeben. Der er sandsynligvis tale om en grav fra yngre jernalder (400-750 e.v.t.), tidsmæssigt samtidig med skibssætningerne i Troldskoven og ved Hellig Kvinde. Domarringe kendes i Danmark kun på Bornholm. De er derimod ganske almindelige i Skåne. Bautastenene på Hjortebakken blev fredet i 1878.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
At Hjortebakken are 4 large and 15 small menhirs. Particularly notable are the 9 small flat menhirs, placed in a circle, called a domarring. An archaeological excavation of domarringen in 1956 found centrally a fire pit with burnt menneskeben. There are probably talking about a tomb from the late iron age (400-750 e.v.t.), temporally simultaneous phrases in Troll forest and refuge at the Holy Woman. Domarringe is known in Denmark only on the island of Bornholm. They are, however, quite common in Skåne. The menhirs at Hjortebakken were preserved in 1878.
