Leivset sacrificial site
Leivset sacrificial site submitted by kenntha88 : From behind of the largest stone and part of the wall that is least overgrown. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is belived to be a ancient sacrificial place, but what makes it stand out from places like Stallogargo and Skarmunken is that this is not a completely natural shaped site.

It consists of two natural huge boulders laying with a small space betwen them, but it is also consisting of a low stone wall around it. This has made specualtions that it is maybe not a sami sacrificial place, but maybe far older and maybe of a different origin, however it is most likely that it is of sami origin.

It is a very interesting place, but unfortunately it is very overgrown with small bushes and bigger trees and can be hard to find. It was also difficult to photograph because of the growth.
