The main monuments on this site are a square stone setting, with 'mini-dolmens' in the corners. So far, i have only seen these in one other place, Fagertofta gravfält. then there are 3 stone circles, 3.5, 7 and 10 metres in diametre. Directly beside the biggest one are 4 other stones, forming a square, or a small 'avenue' into the stone circle The stone circle can be seen in GE Info post on site in Swedish, English and German How to get there Take the road from Nässjö towards Grimstorp and Bodafors. After about 5 kilometres, you will see a white sign "Torsa Stenar" pointing to the right. Turn and follow the gravel road for 1.1 kilometres, and the site is to your right.
