Anundshög is one of Sweden's most important ancient monuments, sitting in a field about eight kilometres northeast of the city centre. The main burial mound dates from around 500 CE, surrounded by a field of standing stones arranged in the outlines of five Viking-era longships. The site was a significant meeting place and trading point for centuries.
The rune stone at the entrance, raised around 1000 CE, records that Folkvid erected it in memory of his son Heden — one of several runestones at the site. A labyrinth made of stones, typical of coastal Swedish folklore, also survives nearby. The site is freely accessible year-round, with an information board in Swedish and English. The walk from the road through the fields to the mound takes about ten minutes and gives a good sense of the scale.
