Kvennbekkrøysa is a huge bronze age burial cairn located on top of a small rocky hilltop overlooking the sea to the east and south-east.
From the top of this hill there is a beautiful view over the sea and surrounding landscape!
The huge cairn appears a little flattened on top with a large crater in the centre. There are no stone coffins visible and the cairn have several depressions. The cairn is around 30 metres in diameter and ranges from 4 meter to 2,5 metres in height. It is an impressive sight!
