Guldrupe burial ground
The Guldrupe burial ground is north of the I 573 road between Guldrupe and Bjärges on the Swedish island of Gotland . The approximately 60 × 35 m field consists of a ring and four round stone settings. The rose is about 20 m in diameter and 0.8 to 1.2 m high. The field stones and limestones measure 0.2 to 0.6 m, but some are significantly larger (0.9–1.3 m). The outer edges of the rose are partially indistinct, the surface is uneven. In the middle there is a 0.4 m deep pair of 2.8 × 2.0 m stone boxes. Their stone slabs are 0.8 to 1.5 m long, 0.2 to 0.4 m high and 5 to 10 cm thick. In the southeast there is a 0.1 m high curb chain made of 0.4 to 0.6 m long stones.
Nearby are the Ring Cross of Bondarve (Jakobs minnesten) and the church of Guldrupe .
