Gettlinge is a village in the southwest portion of the island of Oland, Sweden, known for its impressive Viking stone ship burial ground [1]. The site sits on a low-lying ridge along the western fringe of Stora Alvaret, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape; this ridge provided one of the few locations with sufficient soil depth for burial mound construction in southern Oland [1].
