I Falköping finns större delen
av de gånggrifter som finns i Sverige. Totalt finns ca 375 st.
och av dessa finns 260 st på Falbygden, dvs. i och runt
Falköping. Megalit betyder "stor sten" och är
byggmaterialet i dessa gånggrifter som byggdes 3000 –
3500 år f.kr. Detta är under samma tidsperiod som
Egyptens pyramider byggdes.
Detta är den mest kända gånggriften på
Falbygden.

[English]
This cache is about "passage graves",
built in the Stone Age about 5,000 years ago. It belongs to a
tradition of megalithic ("big stone") graves along the Atlantic
coast of Europe. Sweden has 375 passage graves altogether,
including 260 at Falbygden, the district round about the cache.
Building a megalithic grave called for co-operation and
organisation, which suggests that a well-organised society existed
here at the same time as the pyramids of Egypt were being
constructed.
This is the most well-known passage grave in the
area
