Röse at Ramsättra
The Röse at Ramsättra is a prehistoric stone grave south of the village of Ramsättra on the Swedish Baltic Sea island of Öland .
The hill made of stones has a diameter of about 30 meters and is one of the largest on Öland. In total, more than 100 roes were found on the island. The size of these roses suggests that an important person, presumably a tribal leader, is buried here. The origin of the Röser lies between 1800 and 1000 BC. In the Bronze Age .
Valuable things were usually left with the deceased. For this reason, Röser were often the target of grave robbers who wanted to gain possession of the grave goods. In two Rösern near Köpingsvik , artfully made bronze weapons such as axes , daggers , spearheads and swords could still be found.
