Ekornavallen

The Ekornavallen burial ground is located 15 km (9 miles) north of the city of Falköping.

[3] The largest, and best known, of the Neolithic passage graves at Ekornavallen is one called the "Girommen" which according to early writers means the giant oven.

[4] The grave was restored in the 1940s when a fragment of a chisel, some amber slivers and some ornate potsherds were found.

[4] The individual standing stones ("bautastones"), mark the Iron Age graves at Ekornavallen, and they are placed in an almost straight line from the north to south.

[4] The stone circles are of a type common in Sweden which were typically built in the five hundred years up to 500 AD.
