Sweden - Västerås, Anundshög
Anundshög is Sweden’s largest burial mound. It is 9 metres high with a diameter of 64 metres. It dates from the 6th to 8th century AD. The mound is built on a foundation of clay on which the dead were cremated. The remains were then covered with a mound of stones, which was covered by turf and earth. Many people were involved in the work of building Sweden’s largest burial mound.
Anundshög offers further 11 burial mounds and 10 round stone settings. They vary in size between 6 and 30 metres in diameter. These graves were probably raised over members of different generations of the same family.
On the grounds is one runestone (PiP), dedicated to Folkvid, a powerful man in the area at the beginning of the 11th century. He paid for the impressive rune stone to tell the world about his son and himself.

Bonne journée !
Congrats on Explore :-)
It looks as if you were standing in one of the two large ship settings (50 m !) - As far as I know most of these large ship settings were built in the later Viking Age (10th century).
Must have been a place that was meant to impress people - like Jelling in Denmark.
Well taken and a good info!
Congrats on Explore, Jaap :-)
