Large hills with a diameter of at least 30 meters are often called Kungshögen in Sweden ( German  "Königshügel" - Sättuna Kungshög ; Kungshögen Högsäter and Nysäter; Kungshögen Höllviken and the Kungshögarna of Malmö-Oxie ). They are mainly found in the Cape of Mälarland, but some examples can also be found in other landscapes. The large mounds often date from the younger Iron Age. Some of the largest are Anundshög in Västmanland , Grönehög in Bohuslän , Högom in Medelpad , Ledbergs kulle in Östergötland , Ottarshögen in Uppland , Ströbo Hög in Västmanland, Skalunda Hög in Västergötland , three hills in Alt-Uppsala in Uppland.
