Høneborg

The archaeological site of Høneborg contains multiple burial sites with stone arrangements marking ancient graves across the excavated terrain.

Excavations at Høneborg, which began in 1952, revealed approximately 700 graves dating from the 5th century through the Nordic Iron Age period.

The stone arrangements in boat shapes at burial sites demonstrate the connection between maritime traditions and funeral practices of ancient Danish societies.

The settlement's position at a key crossing point over the Limfjord made it central to regional trade routes during its active period.

Natural sand drifts caused by deforestation around 1200 AD covered and preserved the settlement, protecting archaeological materials for modern research.
