Gettlinge grave field, Bronze Age burial ground in Södra Möckleby, Sweden.

Gettlinge grave field runs almost two kilometres along the western road on southern Öland, past the villages of Gårdstorp, Gettlinge and Klinta. More than 200 graves remain of about 250, mostly round and square stone settings from the late Bronze Age and Iron Age. Its northern part holds large limestone slabs and a 30-metre stone ship of 23 raised granite blocks.

The burial ground began in the Bronze Age and was used continuously for roughly 2000 years until around 1050. Archaeological studies show that people buried their dead here from the early Iron Age through the Viking Age period.

The name Gettlinge comes from the village the field runs past, and the site is also called Klinta gravfält after the neighbouring village. The 30-metre stone ship of 23 raised granite blocks carries about twenty cup marks, shallow depressions pecked into the stone in the Bronze Age. The two limestone slabs over three metres high near Klinta drew the attention of Abraham Ahlqvist in 1825.

The site sits beside Länsväg 136 road between Klinta and Gettlinge villages with parking available nearby. You can walk through the entire grave field easily and explore the stones at your own pace without restrictions.

The two limestone slabs near Klinta, each over three metres tall, drew the attention of landscape writer Abraham Ahlqvist in 1825. North of the grave field, the so-called Klinta stone was found and is now kept in Stockholm, so the slabs standing here are not the only carved stones linked to the site.
