Archaeological finds

Today, based on special finds made in the area, it is assumed that Färlöv was a local center of power during the Iron Age . In 1996 warrior graves from the early Iron Age (around 2nd century AD) were excavated, with a bronze cauldron found. It was found that this was an import from the Roman Empire . In the kettle there were burned bones of two men with weapons that were typical of the time.

Runestone near Färlöv from around 650–900 AD.

In 1997 a rune stone was found near Färlöv , the inscription of which has not yet been fully deciphered due to its poor condition. Due to the nature of the runes , the stone could be dated to the epoch of the transition from the older to the younger Futhark (Old Norse rune system), i.e. around the time from 650 to 900 AD. The stone is part of a larger burial field, but most of it today is no longer preserved or is underground. Even Carl Linnaeus was in 1749 during his journey through Scania imposing remains of this burial ground in front. The remains of seven ship settlements have also been found here, one of the largest ever found in Scandinavia. The length of this ship was 80 meters, the width 18 meters. Both settlements date from the 8th or 9th century, i.e. from the time of the Vikings .
