Standing Stone (Menhir) in Hordaland In the garden of a abandoned old villa and surrounded by garden trees and on a lawn is a slab-shaped standing stone. Two holes have been recently drilled into the stone and in one of them is a iron bolt. I am not certain what was the purpose of that.
The stone is 1.90 metres in height, around 1.20 metres wide and around 20cm thick. It has a rounded top and appears very weather beaten and rugged.
