The standing stone called "Tveithella" is 3,7 metres in height, 1,4 metres wide at the base and 30 cm thick. It narrows a little towards the top that ends in a point. The stone was found laying down but have in later years been restored and a small inscription "reist på ny" or "set up again" is carved into the stone itself.
The stone is inside a small park inside a neighbourhood with houses and next to a road. It is well worth a visit! A small information poster next to the stone and a small park bench just next to it.
