The Burial grounds, Visingsö

On Visingsö there are monuments from all ages: Flint Axes from the Palaeolithic and stone cists from Neolithic times. The best preserved rock coffin, you can see along the main highway just south of Rökinge- is from 1600 BC. From the Bronze Age there are cracked stone piles and a number of burial mounds – the largest, Haga Mound, located at the edge of the forest east of the southern burial ground in Stigby. The most ancient remains, however, stems from the Iron Age. The 1995-1996 excavations found traces of a long house from the time around the birth of Christ, ie Pre-Roman Iron Age.
