Pilane, Iron Age grave field in Klövedal, Sweden
The archaeological site spans eight hectares of land on Tjörn island, containing 90 ancient monuments including stone circles and burial mounds.
Archaeological findings near the present-day parking area indicate human settlements from 4,500 years ago, with pottery remains from the Farming Stone Age.
The stone circles, known as Judges Rings, served as gathering places for legal assemblies during the Iron Age period from 500 BC to 1000 AD.
The site functions as a sculpture park exhibition from May through September, combining ancient monuments with contemporary art installations in an outdoor setting.
The preserved grave field maintains its original flora and fauna from ancient times while sheep graze among the historical monuments and modern sculptures.
