Viking Stone ship

Viking Stone ship
Gettlinge, Sweden (SE)
The Stone ship or ship setting was an early burial custom, characteristically Scandinavian but also found in Germany and the Baltic states. The grave or cremation burial is surrounded by tightly or loosely fit slabs or stones in the outline of a ship. They are often found in grave fields, but are sometimes far from any other archaeological remains.
