Lallin asumus, Archaeological site in Säkylä, Finland.
Lallin asumus is a stone mound site in Säkylä situated beside a stream and marked by an information board and memorial plaque on a large boulder. The location sits along a road connecting the towns of Kokemäki and Köyliö in the surrounding landscape.
Local traditions dating to the 12th century connect this location to Lalli, a figure who according to regional accounts played a role in a significant historical event. The exact chronological placement of the stone mound remains uncertain due to the absence of archaeological excavations.
The area contains diverse plant life, including lime trees, silver birches, wild garlic, and naturally growing hops throughout the surrounding forest.
The site is easily accessible and marked by the Köyliö-seura heritage association to guide visitors through the area. The stone mound lies close enough to the road that you can reach it without much effort.
The age of this stone mound remains scientifically undetermined because archaeologists have not yet excavated the site. This leaves open the question of whether the structure dates to prehistoric times or a later period.
