Stone Circle in Hordaland
This stone circle consists of around 30-40 blocks of stones placed in a circle and tight together tuching each other. The stones are only around 30cm in height and around 50-60 to 1,2 metres wide and vary a lot in size. Some parts of the circle is filled over with earth and soil and are not visible. The stone circle is around 17 metres in diameter.

The stone circle have a large stone slab in the center. It is around 2 metres long and 1 metre wide and is laying on a small "frame" of smaller round stones. The circle was excavated and only charcoal was found under the slab. The stone circle is dated to around 50AD, around early roman iron age. No burial was found so it is uncertain what kind of function the circle had.

The circle is on the grounds of a open air museum and a footpath goes straight trough the circle. It also have a information poster.
