Greby, Iron Age grave field in Tanum Municipality, Sweden
The burial ground contains 220 visible stone graves arranged in a circular pattern across the grassy landscape north of Grebbestad.
Swedish archaeologist Oscar Montelius excavated eleven graves at the site in 1873, discovering glass pearls and bone combs from 400-500 AD.
The grave field exhibits connections to Norway, England, and Germany through artifacts found during excavations, indicating regional trade networks.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking Road 163 from E6 towards Grebbestad and turning left before entering the village.
The location near a former shallow bay extension of Sannäs Fjord suggests its strategic importance as a protected trading point.
