Kaup, Archaeological site and ancient city in Mokhovoye, Russia.

The hilltop settlement of Kaup contains remains of medieval structures and defense fortifications near the Curonian Lagoon shores.

The establishment functioned as a primary trading post between Swedish merchants from Birka and Baltic tribes during the 9th century.

Excavations at Kaup revealed extensive burial grounds with over five hundred tumuli containing Norse artifacts and cremated remains.

The archaeological site maintains regular opening hours for visitors and researchers, with guided tours available through the local museum.

Large boulders mark the tops of burial mounds, which measure between 5 and 12 meters in diameter and stand less than 1 meter tall.
