Limbuhaugen
The stone box ( Norwegian Hellekiste ) and the building stone on Limbuhaugen are at Steinkjer in Trøndelag in Norway . There are only 12 Neolithic stone boxes (Norwegian. Hellekister or Hellegraver ) in Norway, while they are particularly common in Sweden with over 2000, and some come from the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK).
On the Limbuhaugen ( German Limbuhügel ) two Bronze Age cairn tombs ( Norwegian Gravrøys ) lie . In one of them there is a large stone box made of eight stone slabs, as is particularly common in Sweden. The inside of the box is 2.04 m long and 0.47 m wide. The roes (burial mounds) are made up of large round stones. The larger hill is 15 to 20 m in diameter and about 2.3 m high. In each such hill there are one or more stone boxes made of large stone or thin slabs of slate. In general, the mounds were used several times for burials. In the 21 Rosen on Toldnes there were 47 burials, on average more than two.
The examinations revealed burned and unburned human bones, as well as tweezers and a bronze razor .
On the second cairn is the slightly sickle-shaped building stone, about 1.5 m high . Like the stone box, it comes from the Bronze Age .
