These two burial mounds were probably built during the Bronze Age
(1800 - 500 BC). Bronze Age cairns are often well constructed and sometimes contain stone coffins.
The coffins can be as long as a man for skeleton graves or small for cremation graves, i.e. graves with burned bones. Investigations sometimes unearth bronze objects such as razors and tweezers that the dead had taken to the grave.
Burial pits are widespread along the waterways in southern and central Värmland. It shows the importance of water for the development of prehistoric buildings. During the Bronze Age, the waterways were the main means of communication, connecting rather than dividing settlement. The location of burial mounds on a cliff by the water is characteristic.
