Standing Stone (Menhir) in Møre og Romsdal
This single standing stone is the only survivor of a total of 4 standing stones. They were removed between 1880 and 1890, and the previously standing stones are only known from some written record. Probably they have been used in the construction of some of the nearby farm buildings.
The stone is about 2 metres in height and around 35cm wide and around 20cm thick. The top is straight cut-off and the stone is tilting slightly. It is located in a large grassy field and is easily visible from the road to the north, even when the stone is surrounded by taller grass.
