Björn Järnsidas hög

The burial mound rises from the woods near Husby gård farm estate, forming a prominent earthen structure within the archaeological landscape of Uppland.

Archaeological studies indicate the tumulus dates from the 9th to 10th centuries, during a period of substantial Viking activity in the Mälaren region.

The mound belongs to a collection of 45 smaller burial structures, containing 150 remains that demonstrate Viking funeral traditions and social hierarchy.

Visitors can locate the burial mound by driving north along Björn Järnsidas väg, with free access to explore the historical site.

A restored runestone at the site features an ancient inscription mentioning breath and God, adding epigraphic evidence to the archaeological complex.
