Standing Stone (Menhir) in Rogaland. Out in the middle of a flat grassy field next to a farm is a tall and slender standing stone. The stone is 3.36 metres in height according to kulturminnesøk, 80 cm wide and around 20 cm thick. It has a V shaped cut into the top, making the top shaped like an M. Next to the stone is the scant remains of a small barrow. It is locally called Pighedla.
