Spir Mountain Cairns

Summary

The Spir Mountain Cairns (Swedish: Spirbergsrösena) are two well preserved Bronze Age cairns in Ångermanland, Norrland, Sweden, built as graves and burial monuments, with burial cists interred.[1] The ancient site is located at the top of the mountain Spirberget by Lake Mosjön in the Grundsunda parish, north of Örnsköldsvik at the High Coast in Ångermanland.[2][3] The name Spirbergsrösena (English: The Spir Mountain Cairns) was introduced by archaeologist Carl L. Thunberg as a formal name concept for the site in 2014 before a public lecture on behalf of the Swedish National Heritage Board, in connection with that year's Swedish national "Archaeology Day".[4]
