Saint Göran's tomb

Saint Göran's tomb

The Stone Age stone box Sankt Göran's grave lies on a path between Larsered and Djupedalsväg, north of Gothenburg in Bohuslän in Sweden .

One end of the stone box is on a rock wall. Several side plates are in situ , but some have disappeared. Some of the rock slabs lying around are probably capstones or were part of them. The stone box was already damaged in the 1840s when it was described by Axel Emanuel Holmberg (1817–1861) in his book on Bohuslän's history.

Several people were probably buried in the stone box. There were amber beads , daggers and arrowheads from flint , slate trailers and zerscherbte found clay pots.
