Stone Ships, also called Ship Settings, were an early burial custom in Scandinavia, Northern Germany and the Baltic states. The grave was surrounded by slabs or stones in the shape of a ship. They were erected from 1000 BC to 1000 AD. This site dated 700-1000 AD actually consists of three connected circles. With 40 stones, the middle circle is almost complete measuring 13 m long and 7-8 meters wide. The northern circle is half the size, but also almost complete including a larger bow stone. The southern circle is only rudimentary and partly covered by a fisherman's shed and the parking lot. The area was cleared in the fall of 2019
