Karlebys gånggrifter, Neolithic passage graves in Falköping Municipality, Sweden

The site contains five large stone burial chambers arranged in a line within the agricultural landscape west of the old village road.

Archaeologists Oscar Montelius and Gustaf Retzius excavated these passage graves in 1872, discovering remains of 80 individuals and various Stone Age artifacts.

These passage graves reflect early agricultural society burial methods, with Ragnvalds grave measuring 16 meters long and featuring an 11-meter entrance passage.

Access to the burial sites requires careful navigation through private farmland, with designated parking areas available along the main road.

The Klövagården passage grave contains a chamber divided into three distinct niches, covered by three ceiling blocks measuring 6 meters in length.
