Alnestrøya standing stone
Alnestrøya standing stone submitted by kenntha88 : Site in Møre og Romsdal Norway (Vote or comment on this photo)
This pretty standing stone is located at the edge of a natural terrace overlooking the small village of Alnes, on the outer side of Godøya Island. From this ridge it is a beautiful view over the north sea.

It is inside a private garden, very close to a fence of a sheep pen and only about 5 metres from a private house.
The stone is around 2 metres in height, around 50cm wide and around 20cm thick. It is tilting a little to one side.
Just close to the stone, around 10 metres to the west, is a very pretty long barrow, it is around 20 metres long, around 5 metres wide and about 0,5 metres in height.
The site is overgrown with short grass with some longer grass growing around the edges of the sheep pen. It is a very windy spot, with strong winds coming from the open sea in the west.
