Plan: “The tomb is located on the top of a small hill. Traces of some other graves can be seen further down at the foot of the same hill, marked with some stones and only faintly visible. The main grave is a pile of stones where boulders have been placed on top of each other to form a narrow “ridge”. Other boulders are lying beside the ridge either supporting it or having fallen down from the top. A single piece of a broken wooden stake with white rags wrapped around it has been erected between the stones in the center of the ridge. A hole has been excavated into the mound perhaps in an attempt to find a treasure. There was also a very large amount of sea shells in and around the stone mound” (Miettunen 2013).
