**Merikarvia King's grave** submitted by lynswan : Site in Finland: 61.51N 21.30E Merikarvia King's grave (Vote or comment on this photo)

Cairn type structure consisting of piled up stones in woods on a rocky outcrop. It is behind the natural harbour of Merikarvia but the area is now covered by forest so it's hard to get a perspective of the surroundings.

It possibly has connections to the barrows at Samallahdenmaki which look to be less than 100km due south.
