Rullesteinshaugen "rolling rocks hill" is a burial cairn believed to be from the bronze age on a rocky hill with a beautiful view over the ocean and the "Atlantic highway" that goes east to Kristiansund. The road is itself a well known tourist destination! A footpath leads up to the hill and cairn from the main road.
The cairns looks to have several craters dug into it and lot of stones are scattered around the cairn making it have a messy appearance. Some places are overgrown with short grass and moss but some parts have no vegetation cover and the stones are bare. It is difficult to get a good impression of the size and no information could be found in Kulturminnesøk but the cairn looks to be around 15 metres in diameter and 0,5 to 1 metre in height. It has never been investigated properly but is believed to be from the bronze age.
