The find place (RAÄ Alva 29:1) is situated circa 100 m east of the village of Stora Ringome in Alva parish, on the other (i.e., eastern) side of the road between Havdhem and Hemse ('Stora Vägen'). The spot is located about 10 m east of the road, about 70 m west of the old railway line between Hemse and Alva. The picture stone fragments were discovered together with a 'gravklot' and a grindstone. According to a letter addressed to M. Stenberger, kept in the archive of Gotlands Museum, in 1945, the picture stone was stored in the cellar of Ada Block in Hemse (dnr 65/45).

Only face B of the lower (bigger) fragment is badly damaged and therefore no carvings are visible on it.

The stone belongs to those Type B stones described by Lindqvist (1941/42 I, pp. 38–39) as dwarf stones with convex head and corners protruding horizontally. Lindqvist assigns Alva St. Ringome to his so-called 'Stenstugruppe' (1941/42 I, pp. 37–38), which is characterized by depictions of aquatic birds in the lower field and a simple vessel (i.e., ships of the 'Rikvidetyp' – ibid. I, p. 66) in the upper field of the stone. These monuments are frequently decorated on both sides. Lindqvist considers them to have been placed in pairs on graves. The currently known Type B monuments featuring single or pairs of aquatic birds are the following: GP 142 Halla Broa VII, GP 165 Halla Broa XVII, GP 129 Hablingbo Stenstu, GP 276 När Rikvide I, GP 277 När Rikvide 2, GP 10 Alva St. Ringome, GP 96 Garda Smiss I, GP 274 Norrlanda Bringes, GP 200 Hemse Lindvide, and the Type B dwarf stone found in Grobin, Latvia (Petrenko 1991; Lamm 1991; Lamm/Nylén 2003, pp. 210–211). As far as Alva St. Ringome is concerned, GP 129 Hablingbo Stenstu is the closest parallel, featuring a very similar type of bird, probably a comparable ship, as well as the same outline (Lindqvist 1941/42 II, p. 18). The only suitable parallel to the herringbone pattern is GP 147 Halla Broa X. \n\nAlthough nothing more than the vessel’s stem is preserved, Varenius (1992, appendix 2) assigns the ship depiction on Alva St. Ringome to his group 2 ('enkel rigg'), which he dates to the period between the 7th and the 9th century.

The farm belongs to the community of Högbro. Since time immemorial, two important country roads, the road Halla-Viklau and the road Roma-Sjonhem (ʻVisbyvägenʼ) intersect here, where a rise consisting of gravel (the ʻhigh bridgeʼ = Högbro) clearly emerges out of the terrain, leading across the great bog system Romamyr-Stormyr. Both roads in turn are intersected by the railway line Roma-Etelhem. The railway intersects both roads a few hundred metres to the west and southwest of the crossing, respectively. During the 19th century, the Högbro elevation was severely diminished and large parts of the Broa cemetery were destroyed by clearing and cultivation, gravel mining, house building, and railway and road construction, as well as deliberate grave robbing. Many finds from Broa were sold on the antiquities market during this time, with many acquired by ATA. Unfortunately, the large and highly important cemetery of Högbro-Broa is still not published adequately; its present documentation is incomplete and confusing. The best overview about the history and state of research is given by Lena Thunmark-Nylén (1995–2006 III:2, pp. 621–623; IV:1, pp. 324–347). \n\nThe first professional and large-scale excavation took place in 1899, conducted by Hans Hansson, who unearthed 14 graves in a small area next to the intersection, just south of the road Roma-Sjonhem and east of the road to Viklau. One further large-scale excavation was carried out in 1981–82 by Ann-Marie Pettersson, who investigated 120 graves (9 inhumation, 102 cremation, 9 without bones) in a small area (circa 700 m2) about 50 m north of the road Roma–Sjonhem and about 40 m east of the road to Halla (Broe 1:71; see the report compiled by Daniel Langhammer from 2012, RAGU dnr 13/82, 789/84). Apart from that, several minor and poorly documented investigations took place in the beginning of the 20th century and, in particular, during the 1930s and the early 1940s. \n\nTwo larger areas are registered by ATA, a burial ground north of the road Roma-Sjonhem (ATA Halla 46:1) and a burial ground south of the road (ATA Halla 48:1). The first one (46:1) covers an area of circa 120 x 110 m (E–W) and contains 66 circular stone settings and 120 investigated flat graves. The other one (48:1) is about 300 x 120 m (N-S) and features 202 circular stone settings. Several other registered monuments, about 15 stone settings, 2 stone kists and 1 gravklot (large spherical stone) seem to belong to the Broa grave field as well (ATA Halla 1:1, 1:2, 74:1, 78:1, 79:1; Roma 31:1, 31:2, 32:1). Thunmark-Nylén (1995–2006 III:2, p. 622) estimates the number of investigated graves alone at about 300 to 400. The actual size and extent of the cemetery, however, remains uncertain. \n\nThe oldest investigated burials can be dated to the Roman Iron Age although some unexcavated stone settings are typical for the Pre-Roman Iron Age. Most of the graves, however, date to the Migration, Vendel and Viking Periods. First and foremost, the grave field is well-known and frequently cited for some particularly important finds such as the decorated horse harness from the equestrian burial discovered in 1899, after which the Broa Style is named (Salin 1922; Thunmark-Nylén 1992; 1995–2006 IV:1, pp. 325–326), the lyre bridge of amber from the same grave (Reimers 1980), and many remarkable finds of glass vessels from all periods (Nylén 1969). Furthermore, there are several elite warriors’ graves containing fragments of ring-swords as well as a Vendel helmet (Nerman 1969–1975 I:1, p. 29; II, fig. 601). \n\nRegarding the picture stones, the exact location of the find spots is difficult to determine in most cases, and their contexts and relation to the known parts of the cemetery remain unclear. Most of them originate from the railway line and the area west of it (called ʻBrandenʼ), and the rest from the area east of the road to Halla, between the road and the border to Roma (ʻKlosterängenʼ). Lindqvist (1941/42 II, fig. 378) provides a map, which was primarily composed at the National Heritage Board (RAÄ) based on the information kept in ATA. It identifies the location of the find places of the stones as carefully as they could be determined at the time of Lindqvist. \n\n“Found by the butcher Petterson during construction of his new house on the so-called ʻBrandenʼ, together with [Halla Broa] VIII and IX as well as 24 limestone balls [gravklot] (GF 1679–1702) and several other antiquities (GF 1704–1710)” (Lindqvist 1941/42 II, p. 62). The find spot is situated, according to the map provided by Lindqvist (1941/42 I, fig. 378), west of the road to Viklau, south of the railway line, in an area belonging to the farmstead Möllbos gård (not Broa/Broe). Information about the find year is not available.

The stone belongs to those Type B stones described by Lindqvist (1941/42 I, pp. 38–39) as dwarf stones with almost semi-circular head and slightly downward-pointing corner edges. According to Martin Rundkvist’s (2012, p. 159) typology, the stone’s shape represents Type dwarf3, belonging to his period 3, which he dates to the Middle Vendel Period. \n\nHalla Broa VII is a typical representative of Lindqvist’s so-called Stenstugruppe (1941/42 I, pp. 37–38), which is characterized by a border decoration consisting of a simple step pattern (simplified twisted cord) as well as depictions of aquatic birds in the lower and a simple vessel (i.e., ships of the Rikvidetyp – ibid. I, p. 66) in the upper field of the stone. These monuments are frequently decorated on both sides. Lindqvist considers them to have been placed pairwise on graves. However, Lindqvist does not only assign stones with bird depictions to the Stenstugruppe. GP 143 Halla Broa I, for instance, belonging to this group as well, is a good parallel to Halla Broa VII regarding the outline, the border pattern and the vessel, however, with a deer- or horse-like quadruped instead of a bird. GP 24 Ardre Petsarve II and GP 160 Halla Broa X, to name two more examples, do not feature any depiction on the lower field at all, yet they are counted among the Stenstugruppe. \n\nThe currently known Type B monuments featuring single or pairs of aquatic birds are the following: GP 142 Halla Broa VII, GP 165 Halla Broa XVII, GP 129 Hablingbo Stenstu, GP 276 När Rikvide I, GP 277 När Rikvide 2, GP 10 Alva St. Ringome, GP 96 Garda Smiss I, GP 274 Norrlanda Bringes, GP 200 Hemse Lindvide, and the Type B dwarf stone found in Grobin, Latvia (Petrenko 1991; Lamm 1991; Lamm/Nylén 2003, pp. 210–211). Garda Smiss I is the best match to Halla Broa VII, featuring a very similar design.

Of these panels, only the top one seems to feature imagery, namely a water bird, which is drawn in the same clumsy posture as that of corresponding animals of other stones but positioned with a slant to make the feet rest on the cross arm. Also, just above the bird, a more weakly carved, possibly secondary, rectangular figure can be made out that is subdivided by diagonal and other lines. The area of this latter motif is severely weathered and abraded, just as the field above it. The other face, A, seems to have had a richer framing border, and its field was partitioned by a horizontal border about half-way up the body. At the top, it is possible to identify a ship of the same shape and positioning as that on the corresponding face of GP 24 Ardre Petsarve II, but the first ship is placed more skillfully, as here, the horizontal border is higher than on the latter stone.” The aquatic bird depicted on the stone features a massive body, a pointed tail, a long neck with a tiny head, and short legs. Most probably, it represents a goose or a swan. \n\nLindqvist (1941/42 II, figs. 467–468) published photos of both faces without paint (taken by H. Faith-Ell in 1933; cf.

The currently known Type B monuments featuring single or pairs of aquatic birds are the following: GP 10 Alva St. Ringome (two birds and ship), GP 96 Garda Smiss I (bird and ship), GP 142 Halla Broa VII (bird and ship), GP 129 Hablingbo Stenstu (two birds and ship), GP 165 Halla Broa XVII (two birds), GP 200 Hemse Lindvide (two birds), GP 274 Norrlanda Bringes (bird, cross symbols, ship), GP 276 När Rikvide I (two birds and ship), GP 277 När Rikvide 2 (two birds and rhombic pattern), and the Type B dwarf stone found in Grobin, Latvia (two birds) (Petrenko 1991; Lamm 1991; Lamm/Nylén 2003, pp. 210–211). \n\nThe bird motif probably derives from depictions on late Roman and early medieval gravestones (Lindqvist 1941/1942 I, p. 40; Böhner 1968, pp. 187–190, figs. 92–93; 1989, pp. 458–460, fig. 19; Oehrl 2010a, pp. 31–32; 2019a, pp. 25, 54, 168; 2020d, p. 150; in print b) – Images of facing pairs of pigeons frequently occur on early Christian tombstones of Rome, mostly with a Christian cross, the Christogram or a small tree (the tree of paradise arbor vitae) between the birds. Those monuments were adapted by early medieval Gallo-Frankish stone carvers, especially in the Rhineland (Böhner 1958, pls. 69–75; Engemann/Rüger 1991, pp. 76–77 no. 15, figs. 43, pp. 79–80 no. 17, figs. 45, pp. 81–82 no. 18, figs. 46, pp. 86–87 no. 21, figs. 49, pp. 87–89 no. 23, figs. 52, pp. 118–120 no. 39, figs. 71; Ristow 2007, cat. no. 93, pls. 40, 57, 75). Good examples of those stones depicting pigeons and the monogram of Christ or other cross signs, dating to between the 5th and 7th centuries, are the gravestones of Arcadius from St. Paulin in Trier, a gable-shaped stone from St. Maximin in Trier, of Mauricius from Kobern-Gondorf, of Besontio in St. Severus in Boppard and of Rignedrudis from Brühl in Nordrhein-Westfalen (Engemann/Rüger 1991, pp. 118–120 no. 39, fig. 71; Ristow 2007, p. 270, cat. no. 93, pls. 75a, 40). In early Christian sepulchral iconography in the Catacombs of Rome, the pigeon symbolizes the human soul (Poeschke 1972, col. 242). The pairs of birds on the ancient and early medieval gravestones can be regarded as representations of the deceased, signifying the cross or the arbor vitae, which refers to salvation and entering paradise (Sühling 1930). \n\nHowever, not only the birds but also the sign of the cross and the christogram seem to have been imitated by Gotlandic stone masons (Böhner 1968, p. 188) – the cross decoration and the small-framed St. Andrew’s cross in combination with an aquatic bird on Norrlanda Bringes appear to be traced back to the common design of Early Medieval Christian grave stones. Diagonal cross decoration, which is reminiscent of Christian symbolism as well, is depicted on the stones GP 24 Ardre Petsarve II and GP 112 Gothem Bentebingels 2. \n\nThere are more parallels between early medieval Christian memorial stones and the Gotlandic Type B picture stones. The typical border decoration consisting of a primitive step pattern, which occurs on most Type B monuments, can also be observed frequently on early medieval stone sculpture of the Rhineland (Böhner 1968, p. 188), e.g., on the prominent Frankish grave stone from Niederdollendorf, dating to the 7th century (Böhner 1944–1950, pp. 63–75; 2002). Furthermore, during the period of ʻAbschnittʼ B, a new kind of picture stone appears, called a cist stone by Lindqvist, which represents small gable-like slabs with a wave-shaped upper edge. According to Lindqvist (1941/42 I, pp. 40, 47–48, 58–61; 1964, pp. 42–84), they were used either pairwise representing grave markers or in a group of four that form cist-shaped (grave or sacrificial) monuments. Obviously, the characteristic shape of these stones can be traced back to Late Roman and early Christian sepulchral stones (Lindqvist 1941/42 I, fig. 216–217). The aquatic birds are not the only animal motifs on Type B picture stones that are connected with Christian iconography. The Type B stone from GP 74 Endre skog depicts a red deer and a serpent. On the Type B stone GP 551 Väskinde Butter a red deer stag can be seen that is sucking in and eating a snake, which represents a widespread motif in ancient and medieval Christian literary tradition and iconography. \n\nAs a result, the Continental connections of the Type B stones and the Christian origin of their imagery appear obvious. On this basis, it could even be argued that there were early Christian communities on Gotland as early as during the 6th and 7th centuries. More probably, however, the Gotlandic stone masons were influenced and inspired by Continental traditions but rather re-interpreted their models and adapted them to their own world of ideas. They certainly re-interpreted the pigeons, which represented the deceased in paradise, in a pre-Christian Scandinavian context, in reference to their own eschatological beliefs and ideas of the afterlife, transforming them into Baltic waterfowl (Hauck 1982, 259–260; Böhner 1989, 46; Oehrl 2010, pp. 31–32; 2012a, p. 96; 2015b, p. 223; 2019a, 54–55; 2020d, pp. 149–150; in print). What those aquatic birds in their Scandinavian Pre-Christian context actually represent becomes more understandable when considering a small group of water birds depicted on Viking Age picture stones – The afterlife journey and the arrival in the world of the dead seem to be the main topics in the imagery of the Type C/D picture stones (see in detail GP 390 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs III), and in the context of this eschatological iconography, aquatic birds occur, probably representing valkyries in the shape of swans, accompanying and guiding the dead, see in detail GP 341 Sanda kyrka I, GP 91 Fröjel Bottarve, and GP 120 Grötlingbo Barshaldershed 6. Against this background, it appears plausible that the frequent depictions of aquatic birds on the Type B dwarf stones represent valkyries as well, along with the ship of the dead.

N. J. Ekdahl brought it to SHM in 1826.” Probably, the stone originates from the large burial ground south of Rikvide farm (RAÄ När 6:1). It covers an area of circa 475 x 170 m (NE–SW), including properties of Rikvide, Rikviderör, Smiss and Hallbjärs, and features about 800 circular stone settings, only a few of which have been excavated and could be dated to the Vendel and Viking Periods (Thunmark-Nylén 1995–2006 III:2, p. 625; IV:2, pp. 550–554). Including those graves, which have been destroyed, the total number could be more than 1000. Only very small parts of the cemetery have been investigated; however, some loose finds have been collected in the course of the decades. There are also two gravklot (large spherical stones) and more picture stones (GP 277 När Rikvide 2, GP 283 När Smiss II and GP 281 När Smiss 3) originating from the grave field. GP 280 När Smiss I was found near the farmstead of Smiss, not far from the grave field, next to a group of robbed grave mounds. \n\nThe stone from När Rikvide I represents the very first Gotlandic picture stone that was delivered to SHM in Stockholm, where it is still on exhibition today (Warncke 1987a, p. 38). Apparently, the pastor and historian Nils Johan Ekdahl, who prompted the transfer to the museum in 1826, was the first person to recognize the antiquarian significance of these monuments (Lindqvist 1941/42 I, p. 9; Lamm 2012, p. 26).

The narrow sides are levelled and form a right angle to both obverse and reverse. They are separated from the obverse by a carelessly executed chamfer of maximum 1 cm width. The reverse is rough and unworked. The height of the stone is 60 cm, the maximum width is 47 cm” (Lindqvist 1941/42 II, p. 104). The small picture stone is almost completely preserved. A small part at the top and the lower right corner of the slab are broken off, the root is missing.

The crosslines within the bordering [forming the typical step pattern, which probably represents a geometrized twisted cord], however, are wider and have rounded bases. At the very top of the image panel, a watercraft can be seen, with high stems, steering oar, and a small rectangular sail. Below it, there are two long-necked birds, facing each other. In the drawing by [Olof Sörling from 1909], each of the birds appears to have two legs, each formed by a vertical line with one or two crosslines (toes) pointing forwards or backwards [Lindqvist 1941/42 II, fig. 466; cf. ATA 2440:16]. At several places, however, it becomes apparent that the person who wielded the chisel here, whenever there was need to break a line to make an angle, out of neglect would extend the lines a bit beyond the point of intersection, for instance, both lines of the arm. This likely also applies to the carving of the bird’s legs; the stonemason probably intended to show only one leg for each bird, and this is represented by an upright-standing rectangle. Each aquatic bird depicted on the stone features a massive body, a pointed tail, a long neck with a tiny head, and short legs. Most probably, they represent a goose or perhaps a swan. " } ], "ai2:interpretations": [ { "type": "literal", "property_id": 285, "property_label": "Interpretation of the Imagery", "is_public": true, "@value": "It has been argued that Continental models and Christian imagery influenced the iconography of the Type B dwarf stones. This refers above all to the waterfowl, in particular, those that appear in facing pairs. The currently known Type B monuments featuring single or pairs of aquatic birds are the following: GP 10 Alva St. Ringome (two birds and ship), GP 96 Garda Smiss I (bird and ship), GP 142 Halla Broa VII (bird and ship), GP 129 Hablingbo Stenstu (two birds and ship), GP 165 Halla Broa XVII (two birds), GP 200 Hemse Lindvide (two birds), GP 274 Norrlanda Bringes (bird, cross symbols, ship), GP 276 När Rikvide I (two birds and ship), GP 277 När Rikvide 2 (two birds and rhombic pattern), and the Type B dwarf stone found in Grobin, Latvia (two birds) (Petrenko 1991; Lamm 1991; Lamm/Nylén 2003, pp. 210–211). \n\nThe bird motif probably recalls depictions on late Roman and early medieval gravestones (Lindqvist 1941/1942 I, p. 40; Böhner 1968, pp. 187–190, figs. 92–93; 1989, pp. 458–460, fig. 19; Oehrl 2010a, pp. 31–32; 2019a, pp. 25, 54, 168; 2020d, p. 150; in print b) – Images of facing pairs of pigeons frequently occur on early Christian tombstones of Rome, mostly with a Christian cross, the Christogram or a small tree (the tree of paradise arbor vitae) between both birds. Those monuments have been adapted by early medieval Gallo-Frankish stone carvers, especially in the Rhineland (Böhner 1958, pls. 69–75; Engemann/Rüger 1991, pp. 76–77 no. 15, figs. 43, pp. 79–80 no. 17, figs. 45, pp. 81–82 no. 18, figs. 46, pp. 86–87 no. 21, figs. 49, pp. 87–89 no. 23, figs. 52, pp. 118–120 no. 39, figs. 71; Ristow 2007, cat. no. 93, pls. 40, 57, 75). Good examples of those stones depicting pigeons and the monogram of Christ or other cross signs, dating to between the 5th and 7th centuries, are the gravestones of Arcadius from St. Paulin in Trier, a gable-shaped stone from St. Maximin in Trier, of Mauricius from Kobern-Gondorf, of Besontio in St. Severus in Boppard and of Rignedrudis from Brühl in Nordrhein-Westfalen (Engemann/Rüger 1991, pp. 118–120 no. 39, fig. 71; Ristow 2007, p. 270, cat. no. 93, pls. 75a, 40). \n\nHowever, not only the facing pair of birds but also the sign of the cross and the Christogram seem to have been imitated by Gotlandic stone masons (Böhner 1968, p. 188) – a ship and diagonal cross decoration, which is reminiscent of Christian symbolism, is depicted, for instance, on the stones GP 24 Ardre Petsarve II and GP 112 Gothem Bentebingels 2; cross decoration and a small framed St. Andrew’s cross in combination with an aquatic bird can be seen on the picture stone GP 274 Norrlanda Bringes. \n\nIn early Christian sepulchral iconography in the Catacombs of Rome, the pigeon symbolizes the human soul (Poeschke 1972, col. 242). The pairs of birds on the ancient and early medieval gravestones can be regarded as representations of the deceased, signifying the cross or the arbor vitae, which refers to salvation and entering paradise (Sühling 1930). \n\nThere are more parallels between early medieval Christian memorial stones and the Gotlandic Type B picture stones. The typical border decoration consisting of a primitive step pattern (representing a geometrized twisted cord pattern), which occurs on most Type B monuments, can also be observed frequently on early medieval stone sculpture of the Rhineland (Böhner 1968, p. 188), e.g., on the prominent Frankish grave stone from Niederdollendorf, dating to the 7th century (Böhner 1944–1950, pp. 63–75; 2002). Furthermore, during ʻAbschnittʼ B, a new kind of picture stone appears, called cist stone by Lindqvist, representing small gable-like slabs with a wave-shaped upper edge. According to Lindqvist (1941/42 I, pp. 40, 47–48, 58–61; 1964, pp. 42–84), they were used either pairwise representing grave markers or in a group of four that form cist-shaped (grave or sacrificial) monuments. Obviously, the characteristic shape of these stones can be traced back to Late Roman and early Christian sepulchral stones (Lindqvist 1941/42 I, fig. 216–217). \n\nThe aquatic birds are not the only animal motifs on Type B picture stones which are connected with Christian iconography. The Type B stone from GP 74 Endre skog depicts a red deer and a serpent. On the Type B stone GP 551 Väskinde Butter a red deer stag can be seen who is sucking in and eating a serpent (Oehrl 2019a, pp. 163–168, pls. 166a–167e). The deer, which is fighting, trampling down and, in particular, eating a serpent represents a widespread motif in ancient and medieval Christian literary tradition and iconography. \n\nAs a result, the Continental connections of the Type B stones and the Christian origin of their imagery appear obvious. On this basis, it could even be argued that there have been early Christian communities on Gotland as early as during the 6th and 7th centuries. More probably, however, the Gotlandic stone masons were influenced and inspired by Continental traditions but rather re-interpreted their models and adapted them to their own world of ideas. They certainly re-interpreted the pigeons, who represented the deceased in paradise, in a pre-Christian Scandinavian context, with regard to their own eschatological beliefs and ideas of the afterlife, transforming them into Baltic waterfowl (Hauck 1982, 259–260; Böhner 1989, 46; Oehrl 2010, pp. 31–32; 2012a, p. 96; 2015b, p. 223; 2019a, 54–55; 2020d, pp. 149–150; in print). \n\nWhat those aquatic birds in their Scandinavian Pre-Christian context represent becomes more understandable after considering a small group of water birds depicted on Viking Age picture stones. The afterlife journey and the arrival in the world of the dead seem to be the main topics in the imagery of the Type C/D picture stones (see in detail GP 390 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs III), and in the context of this eschatological iconography, aquatic birds occur, probably representing valkyries in the shape of swans, accompanying and guiding the dead, see in detail GP 341 Sanda kyrka I, GP 91 Fröjel Bottarve, and GP 120 Grötlingbo Barshaldershed 6. Against this background, it appears plausible that the frequent depictions of aquatic birds on the Type B dwarf stones represent valkyries as well, along with the ship of the dead.

This cemetery covers an area of circa 475 x 170 m (NE–SW), including properties of Rikvide, Rikviderör, Smiss and Hallbjärs, and features about 800 circular stone settings, only a few of which have been excavated and could be dated to the Vendel and Viking Periods (Thunmark-Nylén 1995–2006 III:2, p. 625; IV:2, pp. 550–554). Including those graves, which have been destroyed, the total number could be more than 1000. Only very small parts of the cemetery have been investigated; however, some loose finds have been collected in the course of the decades. There are also two gravklot (large spherical stones) and some more picture stones (GP 276 När Rikvide I, GP 283 När Smiss II and GP 281 När Smiss 3) originating from the grave field. GP 280 När Smiss I was found near the farmstead of Smiss, not far from the grave field, next to a group of robbed grave mounds. \n\nThe stone was discovered in 1995 by a local man (Axel Svahn) during a field trip organized by the assembly on occasion of the ʻÖppet Gotlandʼ (Open Gotland) event (Östergren 1995; ATA dnr 321-1135-2003). The monument was found in a circular stone setting, situated in the western part of the burial ground, lying on top of the grave mound, which measured 4 to 5 m in diameter. However, when the spot was inspected in 2002, it was not possible to determine which grave mound with certainty. According to Majvor Östergren, who published the find in 1995 (p. 7), the stone had originally been erected on top of the stone setting or incorporated into the mound but was broken and thrown away when the grave was looted.
