Danish: Området ved Lindholm høje rummer over 700 grave - og 150 skibssætninger - fra jernalder til Vikingetid. Desuden har arkæologerne påvist dyrkningsspor, træbrolagteveje og hustomter fra oldtiden. Byen menes at være forladt omkring 1100 på grund af truende sandfygninger, som dækkede området. Sandet blev fjernet i 50'erne hvor det imponerende anlæg kom for dagen.
