Stone Circle in Østfold. This site once consisted of three stone circles. Two have been removed and the last one only four stones still exist. One stone circle consisted of 9 large stones and a diameter of 8 metres, the other of five stones and a diameter of 7 metres and the last consisted of 8 stones and a total diameter of 7 metres
Today there are four stones left of the largest stone circle. Three of them on a line and the last on the opposite side. The stones are large rounded boulders, around 60-70cm wide and around 0,5m in height and distance between them around 2 metres. The stones today are a part of a private garden and the short lawn grass makes them easy to see though some higher grass grows around the stones edges.
