TheExploringExpat visited on 5th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 A New Menhir with no information on the internet or on any Bodø websites.
This is a random Menhir at the end of a drive way. No noticeable Burial Mounds nearby & its in a built-up residential area. I can't find anything on the internet about it & its not on this website. The 3 Menhirs at Vågøynes monument is 2.6k away from this Single Menhir.
