Swedish term
stenpackning
Swedish to English
Social Sciences
Archaeology
This concerns a sign describing an archeological site in Sweden. The sign is meant to be read by laypeople and not just archeologists. The sentence in question reads: "Den består av en övertorvad stenpackning och har en kant av stora stenar."
On Wikipedia, the term is described as: "Stenpackning används av arkeologer vid definition av stenpackning av olika utföranden och som kan liknas med stensättning," which is not exactly crystal clear - kind of like saying: "Flubb-flubb is used by scientists for defining different kinds of flubb-flubbs..."

stone packing
This is what's usually used. Literally stones packed together to form some kind of surface/feature or to wedge timbers. Not the same thing as a stone setting, in archaeological terms!
