Virnamäki is an Iron Age hill and ancient monument area in Turku, Finland [1]. This archaeological site served as both a dwelling area and contains cremation cemeteries beneath the ground surface [1]. The location features multiple stones with cup marks and the Komosten kummut—two natural mounds with Iron Age dwelling traces [1]. A 1.5 km nature trail traverses the site, including a 250-meter cultural landscape section along the Aurajoki river [1]. The entire area is protected under the Finnish Antiquities Act (Muinaismuistolaiki) [1].
