Standing Stones in Hordaland
Inside two private gardens overlooking the sea and close to a steep hill going down to the sea are two standing stones. The site has a terrible ambience, the stones are blocked and almost covered from view by garden trees and bushes, around on the ground are heaps of garden garbage.

The tallest stone is around 2 metres in height. It is around 40cm wide and around 20cm thick. The top ends in a sharp point. The top 50cm has been broken off, but has been repaired in later years.

The other stone is around 1.5 metres in height, around 30cm wide and around 10cm thick. Close to the top the stone narrows inwards on each side and the top ends in a point, making it an arrow-head in appearance.

The stones stand around 3 metres away from each other, one stone on each side of the small fence dividing the two gardens. The stones are blocked from view by garden brushes and the stones were not easy to find!
