Viking Graveyard

On the way to Lena's sisters' summer house (about a km from Lena and Sture's summer house), Sture took me to one of the major historical sites on the island of Tjon, the Viking Graveyard.
Here are a few pictures:

Here is the sign which means historical site.

Only 0.2 km to go

This is what the sign said to us English speaking folk.

Here's what a sign said a bit closer to the graveyard.

Here's a ring of stones around the central burial site.

Here's a central "headstone".

Another ring.

Sture is in the picture to give you a since of scale.

The graveyard is surrounded by a wall of stones. These walls remind me of upland New England.
