Standing Stone (Menhir) in Møre og Romsdal
In a flat grassy field close to the main road going east-west is a small and pretty standing stone. It is easily visible from the road.
The stone is around 1.80metres in height, around 40cm wide and around 10cm thick. It is standing straight and has the shape of a standing slab. It is said it was several smaller barrows here, but they have been plowed away in later years. The site has a very nice view over the ocean.
