Eke is situated in the southeast part of Gotland.[5] The medieval Eke Church is located in the socken.[6] As of 2019[update], Eke Church belongs to Havdhem parish in Sudrets pastorat, along with the churches in Havdhem, Näs, Grötlingbo, Hablingbo and Silte.[7][8]
The Guding hillfort in Eke was built during the Iron Age. The wall that encircles it is approximately 450 m (1,480 ft) long and the courtyard about 12,000 m2 (130,000 sq ft).[9]
