Grave field at Galgebakken
The burial ground at Galgebakken round with 14 and two boat-shaped Rösen ( Danish Skipsrøser ) from the Bronze Age is on Ellevej in Vestermarie plantation, northeast of Vestermarie on the Danish island of Bornholm , between the cemeteries of blessing and store Bjergegårdsbakken (with standing stones ).
In the forests and on poor arable land in the interior of Bornholm there are 18 obtained, up to 30 m long, ship-shaped Rösen (Danish. Skibsrøser). There were once at least twice as many.
The largest roe (the Galgebakken) was a place of execution in historical times . At Ellevej there are six more ship-shaped loops that were erected over urn burials from the late Bronze Age . At the end of Ellevej, on private land, are Anhøj and 250 m further Enebjerg, two more large round roosts. The boaters in Vestermarie Forest were examined in 1959 and 1991.
