Kungsstenarna: Two standing stones on southern Öland

Two standing stones mark a grave field including a stone cist and seven round stone settings.

Kungsstenarna are two standing stones on southern Öland. They mark a grave site. The stones belong to a grave field, and directly adjacent to them is a limestone slab and a stone grave.

In addition to the grave field, there is a stone cist and seven round stone settings. These features are located in the archaeological area of the megalithic site.

Kungsstenarna are situated south of Ottenby, slightly west of the road leading from Ottenby to Ölands southernmost point, the Långe Jan lighthouse.
