Sollentuna socken

The area largely corresponds to the modern Sollentuna Municipality, but not completely.

The parish was mostly low-lying farmland surrounded by wooded hills reaching up to 70 metres (230 ft) above mean sea level.

[4][5] With the municipality reform of 1862, the ecclesiastical and civil functions of the parish were separated.

[7][8] There are a number of gravrösen (a sort of chambered cairn) dating back to the Bronze Age scattered throughout the municipality.

There are also around 60 burial sites, a tumulus over 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter, and five hill forts from the Iron Age.
