Abstract
The ancient monument Tuve 46 is an unusual remnant of the past. It has been interpreted as a special kind of cult site, a Harg. The monument is constructed on a small hillock that has been rebuilt and reformed with stones and blocks. Situated on the hillock, there are also graves, mounds of fire-cracked stones and a cult house. Layers of packed small stones and concentrations of ceramics are found together with burned seeds and twigs. On the highest point, a surface of packed stones is placed along with rows of different coloured blocks. Almost all around the hillock is a bank of stones. Beside the hillock were postholes, hearths, cooking-pits, groups and concentrations of burned stones. All of these features have been interpreted as having different functions in cult ceremonies.The site has been used from the late Neolithic to the Migration Period, but the Harg itself can be dated to late Bronze Age and Pre-Roman Iron Age.
