Stone Circle in Buskerud
This stone circle are located just next to the European road E16 on the west side of the highway. The stone circle is easy to see since the circle have been cleared of the forest.
This stone circle consists of 13 boulders, or blocks of stone. The five stones closest to the highway have fallen over while the rest of the stones are still standing. The stones vary in height from around 40 to 90cm and around 70 to 90cm wide. The distance between the stones are around 2 to 3 metres and the diameter of the circle are 15 metres. It does not appear to have been a centre stone. In and around the circle have been cleared of forest, and the circle are overgrown only with moss and small vegetation. Around the circle are tight pine tree forest to the north, west and south.
