Röshults ringröse Ring Cairn View all content for Röshults ringröse

This is one of Sweden's biggest ring-cairn. To me, it rather looks like a fort, but the Swedish heritage board classifies it as a ring-cairn, partly because it's in a middle of a grave site, with another flat cairn and 2 stone rings immediately beside it, and 4 more stone rings i the forest. 200 metres north of the ring-cairn lies another cairn, which you will pass if you visit the site. The ring-cairn is visible in GE, and the cairn and stone ring immediately north of it. How to get there: From highway E4, take the exit at Torsvik N (about 7 kilometres south of Jönköping) and drive westwards to the town Taberg. In Taberg, turn left in the T-shaped roundabout, and drive for 4 kilometres, and turn left at the sign "Bratteborg". After 1.9 kilometres, turn left at the yellow sign "Röshult", drive up to the farm, (where you see a blue sign "Gravfält 2" turn right and follow the gravel road until you see a a 'No entry' sign. Turn right onto the small track road, after 100 metres you see the north cairn to your left, but continue another 150 metres for a parking spot. Walk south on the track road for 100 metres and the site is on your right.
