Högom grave field

The archaeological site spans 315 by 190 meters and contains 10 burial mounds, with four structures measuring 40 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height.

The burial ground dates from 500 AD during the Migration Period, featuring both barrows and flat graves that demonstrate early medieval funeral practices in northern Sweden.

Archaeological excavations at Högom have revealed ceramics, tools, and personal objects that indicate the social organization and burial customs of Iron Age communities.

The site maintains free public access throughout the year, with regular guided tours available through the Sundsvalls Museum, located 15 minutes from the city center.

A Viking Age runestone, known as Högomstenen, stands at the southern edge of the burial ground, displaying early Christian symbols through its cross engravings.
