Standing Stone (Menhir) in Nord-Trøndelag
This site consists of a beautiful tall and slender standing stone. It is standing on top of a small round barrow cairn on a small rocky hill just next to a local farm. The stone is easily visible from the country road going around 100 metres to the west of the stone.
The small cairn the stone is located on is around 5 metres in diameter and around 0,4 metres in height. There is also another similar sized cairn just next to it but both cairns are overgrown with grass and can be difficult to make out.
The stone is a beautiful tall and slender standing stone, around 4 metres in height. It has a slender shape and is 30cm thick and 40cm wide. It is about he same thickness all the way to the top and the top ends in a rounded point. The stone is standing vertically and it doesnt seem to tilt to any side.
