Finnestorp

Finnestorp is an archaeological site in Västergötland, Sweden, where many objects from the Migration Period have been found [1]. The site was discovered in 1902 and excavated in 2000–2004 and 2008–2012 [1]. The more than 700 finds include weapons, horse gear and horses, mainly from the period 350–550 AD [1]. Finnestorp has been interpreted as a cult site where war booty was sacrificed [1]. It has similarities to the site Skedemosse on Öland and to Migration Period war-booty sites in Denmark and northern Germany [1]. A few finds consist of complete and intact bridles and sword belt sets that have been placed in pits [1].
