At the rocky hill called Harekasfjellet just outside Halden is a hillfort. The large rocky hill is very steep to the north, west and south. On the north-east side the hill is less steep and this side is blocked by two walls.

The largest and most visible wall starts on the hills south east side and going stright north for around 14 metres before turning north west for a length of around 17 metres before turning to the north again in a length of 15 metres before turning again north west for 15 metres before ending at a steep drop on the hills north side. The wall is around 2 metres wide and around 0,5 metres in height. The wall is clear on some parts but some parts it has fallen more over and become overgrown more with trees and tree rootes.

The other wall is lower on the hillside to the north east. This wall is at the foot of the hill and going north west to south east but this wall is very overgrown and some parts have been damaged due to a nearby road cutting into the hill from the north east. The hillfort also have a power line going straight over it that disturb some parts of it.
