Skeppssättningen vid Södra Ugglarp is a large stone setting in Bonderup parish in the Lund municipality. Measuring 39 meters in length and approximately 10 meters at its broadest point, the monument consists of 39 standing stones oriented east-west.
The monument was likely renovated in the middle of the 1800s, at a time when four additional stone settings existed on the farm's land. A land survey map from 1767 refers to the site as 'Giättagraven'.
In 1952, the stonemason E. Johansson from Dalby raised seven of the stones on the southern side of the ship that had fallen over. During his journey through Skåne in 1749, Carl von Linné also visited the site.
