Current data for Description

The Stone ship or ship setting was an early burial custom, characteristically Scandinavian but also found in Northern 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. Excavations have shown that they are usually from the Nordic Bronze Age or from the Germanic Iron Age, the Vendel Age and the Viking Age.
The largest known stone ship is the mostly destroyed Jelling stone ship in Denmark, which was at least 170 metres long.
