On a small cairn on a flat space on the ytterøya island is a runestone. It stands on a spot where there previously were several barrows and cairns. Today, the only remains is the Klokkersteinen runestone and a small round barrow with a standing stone on top around 500 metres to the east. The cairn under the stone is not visible today, it has probably been lost during work on the country road just next to it.
The runes on klokkersteinen is very hard to decipher. They are only 5 runes that is possible to read out of 10 runes. They are very eroded and almost not visible. They have been interpreted as the start of a name or a word meaning "Påsså..."
The stone is around 2 metres in height, around 1 metre wide at the base and around 30cm wide, the top ends in a sharp point. It has a triangular shape.
The stone has another very interesting feature, on the flat edge at the same side of the runic inscription is 7 small cup-markings. They are most known from bronze age rock art. Maybe the stone is older then the runes and the inscription has been added later?
