- Q10661138 abstract "Sandby borg is a ringfort, one of at least 15 on the island of Öland in Sweden. It sits about 2 kilometers southeast of Södra Sandby village in Sandby parish in southeastern Öland. It is also close to the village of Gårdby. The fort was discovered in 2010 and excavation is revealing that was the site of a 5th Century AD massacre. The fort included 53 buildings, consisting of small, one-family houses in the middle and stables and storehouses closer to the walls.It is only 42 meters from the shore line on a level spot about 2.5 meters above sea level on a low sand dike, low enough that at high tide the sea almost reaches the base of the fort's walls. The highest points of the wall are in the northeast at 3.1 meters above ground level, and in the southeast at 1.5 meters above ground level. The fort is of oval shape, with the main axis oriented pointing NW and SE. The length of the main axis is c.95 meters and the traverse is some 65 meters. The wall is about 4 meters thick, with the thickest part of the wall towards the northeast and the thinnest part towards the south east. Two entrances pierce the walls, one in the north and one in the southeast. The fort had its own well.West of the fort there is a structure that consists of several parallel rows of grey stone blocks. Archaeologists from the museum of Kalmar County, Sweden, and Lund University started excavating the site in 2010, alerted by signs of exploratory digging by looters. There is a limited digging season and so far only a little of the fort and its dwellings have been excavated. Even so, there have been remarkable finds. Material finds consist of gilded silver and bronze buckles, and caches of beads and jewelry. What is more unusual is that ten skeletons have also been found in positions that suggest that the individuals involved were taken by surprise, killed, and left where they fell. Furthermore, it appears that that the fort was not put to the torch, but simply left with its dead strewn about, unburied.Most recently, archeologists have found a Roman gold solidus from the reign of Valentinian III (419-450 A.D.), that helps date the site. The archeologists excavating the site believe that the presence of the solidus is consistent with the fort's inhabitants being erstwhile mercenaries in the Roman army.The Sandby borg excavation team successfully raised funds via a Kickstarter campaign to complete the excavation of House #40, where several skeletons had been found. Their target was SEK 400,000, and they raised SEK 465,619 before the deadline of midnight 31 December 2014.".
