Standing Stone (Menhir) in Sogn og Fjordane
On the small Island of Barmen, on a small hill close to the sea on the southernmost point of the island is a small and pretty standing stone.
The stone is located in a small forest with large pine trees. The trees are blocking the beautiful view over the sea and the mountains to the south. The stone is around 2 metres in height and around 30cm wide and about 10cm thick. It has a very nice smooth surface. The stone had fallen down many years ago, but was re-erected in modern times. Some smaller round stones are found at the base of the stone.
The stone is inside a fenced grazing area for sheep. The hill is surrounded by barbed wire. It is difficult to get to! The site is said to have had several small round barrow cairns around the stone, but these were not possible to locate. A number of them have been destroyed in later years because of agricultural activity.
