Anundshög Skeppssättning
Date Added: 1st Sep 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Sweden (Västmanland)
Visited: Yes on 18th Aug 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Anundshög Skeppssättning submitted by cereus on 28th Feb 2004. Badelunda shipshaped stone circles. Probably graves from around 1000 AD. Not excavated. In this area people began to settle 2500 BC. There is more to see here. Among other things a maze. I haven't seen it myself yet. Planning to go there as soon as the snow is gone!
