↟ The legacy of our Ancestors ↟

This magnificent ancient site is called Anundshög and is one of Sweden’s foremost ancient sites with an area containing both rune stones, stone ships and burial mounds that reflects our history. The burial mound which name is Anundshög, is the largest one in Sweden with an diameter of 64-68 meters, and a height of 9 meters. It is located at Badelundaåsen, and was created sometime between 5th – 11th century AD.

The area here contains in total twelve burial mounds, fourteen erected stones, one rune stone (you can read more about it in previous post), and five stone ships. The biggest one is 53 meters long. This area was an important gathering place during pre-historic times. It was a cultural center for the western Mälardalen, and much important for trades during the Viking Age. There is also several ancient remains from the younger Iron Age and we know that ‘ting’ (gatherings and councils/meetings) were held at this place in the 14th century and also during the Viking Age.
