Sagaholm is the site of Bronze Age burial mounds (Sagaholmshögen) [1]. Sagaholm is located in Ljungarums parish just south of Jönköping in Småland, Sweden [1]. Sagaholmshögen is a cairn dating from the early Nordic Bronze Age (c. 1700–500 BC) [1]. The site had a large barrow with a circle of slabs of sandstone, probably numbering as many as 100 [1]. Only 45 graves remain, with 18 of them adorned with petroglyphs depicting ships, animals and people [1].
