This large stone grave measures 40 meters in diameter and rises 3 meters above ground near the coast between Borgholm and Köpingsvik.

Archaeological excavations in 1849 and 1927 revealed four burial sites, including two skeleton graves from early Bronze Age and two cremation graves from late Bronze Age.

Several cup-mark stones surround the burial site, displaying carved depressions that indicate religious or ceremonial practices from the Bronze Age period.

The stone grave stands in a flat, low-lying area along the road, with informational signs and easy access for visitors throughout the year.

One cremation grave contained a Danish-made sword that remains the only specimen of its kind discovered in Sweden.
