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.
