This burial ground dates back to the Viking Age, around 800 to 1500 AD, when the water in the Limfjord was slightly higher than it is now and reached up to the edge of this burial ground. The large, upright stones served either as memorial stones or as grave markers. Some stones form the shape of a ship and probably symbolize the ship that should bring the dead to the realm of the dead.
Between the stones are more than 20 small, low mounds built over some of the tombs.
