Presthus
Presthus submitted by kenntha88 : The two small and pretty stones under a larger tree. (Vote or comment on this photo)
In the garden of the main building of the farm called Preshus, and next to a playschool for children and under a huge leaf tree is two small and pretty standing stones.

These two stones has been standing on the farms property since ancient times, but the current position is probably not the original one.

One of the stones appear almost polished, it has a rounded shape and is almost cylindrical in shape, it is about 1.20 metres in height and about 30 cm wide. The other stone is square shaped, its slightly taller, about 1.30 in height and about 20-30 cm wide. The two stones are very similar in shape. In one of the stones someone has inscribed the number 1694, but this has been added in later years.

The farm Presthus has a long history and the whole hill area it is located on has probably been populated since ancient times. Someone has placed two old millstones at the foot of each stone.
