Boeryd grave field

Here on Boeryds gravfält (Grave field of Boeryd), you can find

2 tri-radial cairns, 4 standing stones and 17 stone circles.

The tri-radial cairns is 13-20 metres long, and 0,4 high,

with the ends pointing at E-SSW-NNW and NE-SSE-WNW.

The stone rings are 4-10 metres in diametre, consisting of 5 to 9 stones

each.

The site was restored in the 1930's.

Swedish national heritage board site code: Månsarp 25:1

Info board on site with Swedish, English and German

Some of the stone rings can be seen in GE (between the trees).

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 right in the T-shaped roundabout, drive 300 metres and

then turn left and go under the railroad bridge. After 3 kilometres on this road

there is a sign "Boerydsgravfältet" pointing to the right, and a few metres into the forest there

is a parking sign. Park there and the site is in front of you.

Taberg was once a mining area, in the town you will pass a museum if you

follow the site-directions.

A good spot to have a coffe break is on the top of the mountain in the town.

Follow the site-directions, but when you have passed the railroad bridge, turn left

after 160 metres, and follow the windling road to the top. There you will find

a restaurant, and a marvellous view over the neighbourhood.
