Characteristic of the cultural landscape on Öland during the middle part of the Iron Age (ca. 200-550AD) are the today visible house foundations and fences made of stone. The house foundations were three-aisled houses with roof-bearing pillars and the stone foundations are traces of what constituted outer stone walls. Adjacent to the house foundations are usually stone fences. The studies in this essay are limited to three parishes near the Sandby hillfort. The purpose is to understand the fort’s relationship to the surrounding settlements. The material consists of registered ancient remains and archaeological finds. Place names and maps are analyzed.
