Ship settlement of Munkhagen

The restored ship settlement of Munkhagen is north of Havdhem and east of the road 142 to Hemse at the highest point in the forest, in the south of the island of Gotland in Sweden .

• One of the ships in the ship's setting ( Swedish : Skeppssättning ) is about 10 meters long and three meters wide. The stones are about 1.2 meters high.
• The second ship is about 12.0 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. The southern stern stone is 1.4 meters high. The ships, probably from the later Bronze Age , have a common stern or bow stone, which is not unique on Gotland. They were excavated and burned bones were found.

In the vicinity there are several round stone settings ( Swedish Stensättningar ).
