You're standing at the King's Grave near Kivik, in the southeast of Scania in Sweden. In front of you is a huge, round mound of stones. A burial mound like this is called a cairn, and this one is among the largest burial monuments in northern Europe. It's about seventy-five metres across and around three and a half metres high.
