Disas ting

Disas ting consists of sixteen standing stones arranged in a rectangular formation measuring 36 meters in length and 16 meters in width, with the largest stones reaching over two meters in height.

Archaeological excavations from 1920 revealed fire patches and burnt human bone fragments within the stone circle, indicating the site served as a burial ground during the early Iron Age between approximately 500 BC and 400 AD.

According to local legend, the site derives its name from Jungfru Disa who supposedly held court at this location, making it a traditional gathering point for early communities in the region.

The monument is easily accessible via Västra Kustvägen and remains open throughout the day as an outdoor heritage site, with informational signs providing details about its archaeological significance.

The site contains a cobblestone layer within the stone circle that researchers believe may represent either Iron Age cremation remains or the foundation of a Stone Age long dolmen from around 3300 BC.
