This pretty little standing stone is located on a flat grass meadow between the small country road and a steep hill near Åndalsnes in Norway
It is 1.80 metres tall and about 20-30 centimetres wide. It is a little thinner in the middle, making it have a club-like appearance. It is also tilting slightly.
It was once a part of a larger burial cemetery consisting of several larger mounds and a number of more standing stones. Sadly this cemetery has been more or less erased by ploughing or construction. The grass meadow it is located in once was a grain field.
