Lejsturojr is an archaeological site situated in Rone socken, Gotland, around 1 kilometer north of Ronehamn. The site encompasses a cairn, crafted from gray stone, standing approximately 4 meters high and spanning approximately 40 meters in diameter. Approximately 200 meters south of Lejsturojr, a larger cairn emerges, 45 meters in diameter and 3.5 meters high. Both cairns likely date from the older Bronze Age.
Evidence of extensive settlement remains surrounds both cairns. North of Lejsturojr, on Lejstuänge and Ajuängar, two groups of housing foundations from the Iron Age can be found. These farms are linked to an extensive system of stone rows, with a smaller area of prehistoric fields found in the west.
About 50 meters east of Lejsturojr, a smaller burial field from the Iron Age can be discovered.
