Tjelvar's grave, Bronze Age stone ship burial in Boge, Gotland, Sweden

Tjelvar's grave is a Bronze Age stone ship burial in Boge, Gotland, measuring roughly 18 meters long and 5 meters wide. The stones are arranged to resemble a ship's form, with taller stones along the sides and a lower central section in between.

The site dates to the Bronze Age and was later named after the legendary figure Tjelvar, credited with bringing fire to the island. Excavations in the 1930s revealed a stone coffin containing cremated remains and pottery fragments.

The name comes from the Gutasaga, which tells that Tjelvar was the first person to land on Gotland and brought fire to the island, so it stopped sinking into the sea during the day. The legend places his burial here at Tjälder.

The stone ship lies in a wooded area about two kilometres west of the village of Tjälder, in Boge district in north-eastern Gotland. The setting is reached on foot from the surrounding tracks; the stones stand in open woodland with no facilities on site. Two Iron Age hillforts stand nearby, and the Bronze Age cairn Majsterrojr lies a little to the south.

The grave bears the name of a legendary figure from the Gutasaga whose fire supposedly kept Gotland from sinking. This story connects ancient mythology with a physical location visitors can actually touch and walk around today.
