The Håga Mound (Hågahögen), also known as King Björn's Mound, is a large Nordic Bronze Age tumulus in Uppsala, Sweden. Standing approximately 7 metres high and measuring 45 metres in diameter, it is Scandinavia's most gold-rich Bronze Age grave ever discovered[1]. The mound was constructed by the shore of a narrow sea inlet, built of turfs laid upon a stone cairn[1].
