King Rane's grave lies undated and unopened on a hill near Flistad Church. In Flistads socken, Skövde kommun, Västergötland, this pre-Christian large grave mound, 25-26 meters in diameter, stands undisturbed. A tree once grew on top of the mound, but only the stump remains today. According to legend, Rane, a pagan king, is buried in this grave. The height is 5 meters, with a slightly uneven surface in the north and east. The top is flat and also 5 meters. Surrounding the mound, numerous stone settings and graves are found.
