Giske standing stone

Next to a farm building just north of the small Giske stone church is a small burial mound with a slender and pretty standing stone on top in the centre of the barrow.

The mound is around 10 metres across and around 0,5 metres in height, no excavations have been taking place here. The standing stone is around 2 metres in height and around 30-40cm wide. It has a smooth surface and a very pretty shape.
The mound is hard to see because of the high grass growing on top of it.

The site has a very pretty ocean view.
