Artificial Mound in Finland
22 graves from Late Iron Age. The burial field is mentioned in the priests' search for antiquities in 1667-74: "On Äkröön there are also such (mounds), with the church and elsewhere; But no one knows to say anything else about it, other than that when paganism was, and no churches were yet thinking, that such mounds shall have laid their dead". The area has been exposed to vandalism in the form of looting, cultivation and construction. Interesting location next to the church.
