Stainabjär burial ground
The Iron Age burial ground Stainabjär (also Stångabjär) is located east of Vinslöv on the road to Norra Strö in Skåne in Sweden . The completely fenced-in burial ground lies on both sides of the Araslövsvägen road.
Stainabjär means "the mountain of stones" or "the mountain with stones". It was badly damaged during the 19th and 20th centuries. On a drawing from the 19th century, eight 20 to 30 meter long ship settlements can still be seen. Today only the remains of three ship settlements, 79 menhirs (possibly building stones or remains of the ship settlements) and a round stone box are left.
About 800 meters to the east, near Araslövsvägen, is the Langdolmen Bröt-Anund's grave .
