Standing Stone (Menhir) in Møre og Romsdal

Close to a narrow dirt country road leading down the the ocean and at the edge of a large grassy field is a small and pretty standing stone. The stone has tall grass growing around it and the stone can be difficult to see from the road. The stone is 1,30 metres in height and around 80cm wide and around 50cm thick. The stone has an almost oval shaped cross section and the top ends in a rounded point.
