Enbuskabacken is a gravefield from the Vendel era and Viking age, approximately spanning the years 550 to 1050 AD. Located in Örebro kommun, near Östra Mark and Örebro University, the area contains 160 graves and is one of the largest ancient gravefields in Närke.
Mounds and stone settings mark the graves. During an excavation in 1890, cremation graves were found containing the deceased with weapons and horse equipment. The excavation also uncovered pottery urns, shield bosses, spearheads, knife blades, and nails.
The objects discovered at the site are currently held at the Historiska museet in Stockholm.
