    Here is a ship-shaped stone circle made of standing stones. It is a cremation burial site from the late Iron Age (about 400 - 800 AD). It consists of 14 stones and is very reminiscent of the stones at Hellig Kvinde near Bølshavn. The shape of the burial place is intentional. This ship made of stones was supposed to carry the dead out to sea. That is why these burial sites were as close to the sea as possible
