Standing Stone (Menhir) in Nord-Trøndelag

Close to the small church at Eid is a small but pretty round barrow with a standing stone on top.

The barrow is in a vacant lot with some smaller brush and grass vegetation. The barrow itself is covered with low grass. The barrow is around 7 metres in diameter and around 0,5 metre in height. On the top of the barrow in the centre is a small standing stone. It is shaped like a standing slab, around 1,20 metres in height and around 1 metre wide. It is around 20cm thick.
