Uggarde rojr

The stone cairn spans 45 meters in diameter and reaches 8 meters high, with a complete circumference of 140 meters.

Built during the Bronze Age, the structure includes a surrounding ring of large stones and remains one of Sweden's largest intact burial monuments.

The name Uggarde originates from ancient Gotlandic terminology, connecting to the word Ugglegården according to regional place name studies.

Visitors can access this archaeological site and explore seven additional large cairns in the surrounding area of Rone socken.

Land elevation over three millennia has raised the structure by six meters from its original coastal position, altering its geographic context.
