In between the farm buildings at the large farm Vorset at a rocky hill with a beautiful view in all directions is a burial cairn with a standing stone in the center. The cairn and stone is a part of a private garden. The cairn is covred in grass and can be hard to make out under the vegetation despite its size.
The cairn is 12 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It was excavated back in 1850 but without any findings. The standing stone was taken down during the excavation but was later restored.
The stone is in the center of the cairn. It is tilting slightly to one side. The stone is 2,2 metres in height, 50cm wide and 25cm thick. It has a small knotch in one side.
