Stunning Iron Age burial with comprehensive signage in multiple languages. Gorgeous in the snow when we visited!
Anundshög also Anundshögen and Anunds hög is a tumulus near Västerås in Västmanland, the largest in Sweden. It has a diameter of 60 metres 200 ft and is about 9 metres 30 ft high.nnAssessments of the era of the mound vary between the Bronze Age and the late Iron Age. A fireplace under it has been dated by radiocarbon dating to sometime between AD 210 and 540.nnSome historians have associated the mound with the legendary King Anund, while others regard this as speculative. It is purported also that the name is taken from the large runestone at the site, Vs 13 the central stone in a row of 15 alongside the mound, re-erected in the 1960s and apparently marking out the route of the Eriksgata.nnAt the foot of the mound are 2 large stone ships placed end to end, 51 metres 167 ft and 54 metres 177 ft long. The site was a thing-place and the ship settings may be associated with this function.
Anundshög is a monumental burial mound dating back to the Iron Age ~500–700 CE located in Västerås, Sweden.nnIt stands 9 meters tall and 64 meters wide—believed to be the resting place of a powerful chieftain or king.
The largest gravemound in Sweden with additional smaller mounds and stone ship graves, also a beautiful rune stone. The area is well kept with several information plaque s. A large free parking space close by. A good choice for a visit among ancient grave sites.
beautiful archaeological site burial mounds, just outside Vasteras.
