On a stony hill overlooking the small harbor of Larsnes are two standing stones. One of them still standing, the other one has broken off near the base and sadly today is laying down.
The stone still standing has the shape of a small slab, its around 1,40m high, around 40cm wide and about 10cm wide. It has been raised by wedging it inside a natural crack in the rock, therefore it doesn't seem to be a barrow or a grave marker, but could be a memory stone.
The site lies close to a private garden just north of a harbour industry building. It is a very nice view from the top of the rock hill and over the ocean.
