Ledbergs kulle

Ledbergs kulle is the area's largest burial mound,

about 40-50 metres in diametre and 6-7 metres high.

There are farms in the area with names that have to do

with the centre of power that existed here during the iron age

No excavations have been made but sample tests indicate that

the mound is from the later iron age (800-1000CE),

and a merovingian gold ring, dating from 500-600CE has been found

nearby. But since large

burial mounds also were made during the bronze age, it could as

well be from that time era.
