The Stenhed ship setting in Skåne

Explore the Stenhed, a ship setting of 30 stones located on a field at Ulriksberg farm.

In a farm field at Ulriksberg farm outside Gärsnäs in Östra Herrestads socken, Skåne, lies the Stenhed. This ship setting measures 52 meters long and 14 meters wide, consisting of 30 lying boulders.

The stones in the setting are up to a meter high. One of these stones features skålgropar, which are cup marks.

Previously, a smaller ship setting made of nine stones existed at this same location. This smaller installation was removed at some point during the last century.
