Glanshammar burial ground
The 120 × 25 m grave field of Glanshammar is located on the northern edge of Glanshammar near Örebro in the province of Örebro län in central Sweden .
On the grave field from the younger Iron Age (400–650 AD) there are three up to two meters high burial mounds, three stone settings and a ship setting . Apart from the ship's settlement, however, not much can be seen.
During the investigation of the roughly 21.0 meter long and 7.0 meter wide ship settlement with preserved and newly erected stones (at least one missing), two groups of ashes, coal and burned stones were found in 1937. It could be the remains of two cremations .
To the south of Glanshammar is the cemetery of Skävesund and to the north is the Apelbodasten .
