This is certainly a cairn with a difference. You can see the tower or chimney shape of the central structure, surrounded by a clearly visible outer wall creating a "walking passage" around the tower. One of the two cists inside it can be seen in these photos. This is definitely one of the most attractive cairns in Gotland.

"The cairn, which was built in several stages, was about 3 metres high and 18 metres in diameter. Inside the tower-shaped inner part, which was open at the top, were found two cists, (stone coffins) with skeletons and grave-goods belonging to three individuals.

Around the tower is a wall half a metre high, which held the stones between the tower and the outer wall in place. Three Iron Age burials were found under these stones.

South of the cairn is a cist of limestone slabs.

In the Early Bronze Age (ca. 1800 - 1100 BCE), imposing burial structures of stone were erected at visible locations along the coasts and channels of communication. There are 400 such large cairns in Gotland.
