Stone Circle in Oppland

The stone ring at Helvikhaugen consists of 7 large boulders placed in a circle that is easy to see in the low terrain. The site is located on the edge of a larger grain field.

Only 2 stones still stands upright while the rest have fallen down.

An old country road passes close to the ring and two of the stones have fallen down into the side of the road.
In the middle of the stone ring is a small depression, around 2.5 metres wide and around 1 metre deep. In the middle is also some smaller fur trees. The stones still standing is around 1.2 metres in height, the rest of the stones that has fallen down is very hard to measure. I really hope some measures can be taken to restore this old Iron Age burial monument!
