Gettlinge is a village in the southwest portion of the island of Oland, Sweden, known for its impressive stone ship burial ground [1] [2]. 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] [3].
