Stenseby is a small settlement near St Bodil's Church in the southeast of the Denmark island of Bornholm. For a time, an active community grew up around Bodilsker Station on the Rønne–Nexø railway which operated from 1900 to 1968. The area is also known for its passage grave discovered in the 1880s.[ "Bønnestenene - Stenseby", På 357 ture i Bornholms natur. Retrieved 8 November 2012.]
Archeological finds
J. A. Jørgensen, a schoolteacher from
Ibsker, was Bornholm's most active archeologist in the late 19th century. In 1882, he investigated the Stenseby passage grave from the
Neolithic where he discovered a few hundred
amber beads, several flint tools, including a 5-inch knife, a sandstone axe and a decorated pot. Not far from Stenseby, he investigated another site, Bønnestenen. Further finds were made in the 1920s including a
Bronze Age pot.
