Bromölla stone chest

The stone box of Bromölla ( Swedish Hällkista ) is located in the village in a small wood on the road Tians Väg, the Riksväg 116 leading through Bromölla in the far east of Skåne in Sweden . Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.

The approximately 4000 year old stone box from the Nordic end Neolithic was examined in 1936 in connection with its restoration and securing with a steel structure. The megalithic stone box was originally longer. One end stone, three cap stones and eight bearing stones have been preserved. It turned out that the chamber floor was paved. According to records from 1915, a half stone ax and a piece of flint were found in the chamber .

Bromölla is also the discovery of a two-part mold from soapstone known for knives and needles.
