Össjö burial ground

The grave field of Össjö (RAÄ-Nr. Össjö 16: 1) is located one kilometer southeast of the church of Össjö, near Ängelholm in the north-west of Skåne in Sweden .

On the grave field there are two judges' rings , an almost rectangular stone setting, five building stones and six boulders . A stone circle has a diameter of 18 meters and consists of 12 (originally 13) up to 1.4 meters high boulders. The other judge's ring is damaged and consists of eleven stones. The number of originals cannot be determined. Five of the stones stand upright or are inclined and almost two meters high. The size of the judge's ring is about 30 meters. It is therefore the largest in Sweden after the circle on Blomsholm (33 m).
