Only 3-4 metres from the main highway and next to a pit stop with a parking lot is a beautiful standing stone. The stone is said to be a part of a once large barrow cemetery containing stone settings and stone circles of various size and shapes. Sadly the rest of the cemetery have later been destroyed leaving only the standing stone as the only remain.
The stone is 2,75 metres in height, around 60-70cm wide and thick and the stone have an almost straight cut top. It is tilting slightly to one side and have some smaller bush growing around its base.
