Kung Östens grav ( German  King Östens grave - Raae -No Björlanda 190. 1) is a passage grave ( Swedish Ganggrift ) visible in an approximately 1.0 m high round hills of about 10.0 m diameter on which on the surface of many stones are. It is located near Björlanda on the island of Hisingen in Bohuslän in Sweden . The passage grave was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) and is a form of Neolithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form can be found primarily in Denmark, Germany, and occasionally in France, Norway and the Netherlands. Östens grav (Norrala 18: 1) is a Röse in the Söderhamns commune.

The north-east-south-west oriented passage grave lies in the middle of the hill. The chamber is roughly oval and measures approximately 2.9 × 1.9 m. About a dozen former bearing stones, mostly tilted, belong to the chamber. Cap stones are not preserved. The hill southeast of the chamber has several depressions in the surface, which probably indicate the location of former edging stones.

Names that refer to a king can be found on several megalithic sites ( Kung Björns Grav , Kung Rings Grav ), on Rösen ( Kung Tryggves grav ), rune stones ( Kung Kåres sten ) and on building stones ( Kung Götriks sten , Kung Anes Sten, Kung Sigges sten or stone pairs Kung Råds grav) and are even more common in Denmark.

Large mounds with a diameter of more than 30 meters are often called Kungshögen ( German  "Königshügel" ) in Sweden . They are mainly found around the Mälaren , some can also be found in other landscapes. The large mounds often date from the younger Iron Age . Some of the largest are: Anundshög in Västmanland , Grönehög in Bohuslän , Högom in Medelpad , Inglinge hög in Småland , Ledbergs kulle in Östergötland , Skalunda hög in Västergötland , Ströbo hög in Västmanland and the three hills in Alt-Uppsala in Uppland. Hagahögen, known as "Kung Björns Hög" in Hågadalen west of Uppsala , is an approximately 7.0 meter high burial mound with a diameter of 45.0 meters and is considered to be Scandinavia's gold-richest Bronze Age grave .
