Virnamäki (Finnish 'vetch hill') is a hill and glade ancient monument area from the Iron Age in Turku, Finland. In addition to having been a dwelling site, the area is also known for its cremation cemeteries under level ground and also multiple stones with cup marks.[1] The area is protected under the Finnish Antiquities Act (Muinaismuistolaiki).[2] Virnamäki has a 1.5 km (0.932 mi) nature trail,[3] with a 250-meter (820.5 feet) long stretch of cultural landscape along the Aurajoki that includes the Komosten kummut, two natural mounds with traces of dwelling from the Iron Age.[2]
