The 4000 year old Röse Stenkullen in Tun in the municipality of Lidköping in Västergötland in Sweden dates from the Bronze Age . It has a diameter of around 60.0 m and, at 7.0 m high, is one of the largest loops in the country.
South of the Röse is a burial ground from the Younger Iron Age (500–650 AD). A few meters north of the Röse is the "Kus-" or "Korskällan" spring, a so-called sacrificial spring. To the northwest of the Röse are the remains of the old settlement area of Tun, which was inhabited from the early Iron Age until 1806 when the village was relocated.
From the Röse you have a good view of the Lidköping- Såtenäs airfield , whose eponymous village "Sathonaes", made up of six farms, was first mentioned in 1392 in a document from the knight Jon Dansson.
Nearby is the Skalunda Hög .
