Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn a large sloping grassy field easily visible from the local round is a round barrow located on a smaller flat hill which is part of the barrow, making it a very rare "step barrow" known only in a handful of sites in Norway. The base is 40 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height and flattened with a mound of top, making the step appearance. The top part of the barrow is 12 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. This detail is easier to see on LIDAR maps because of the vegetation which consists of large and small trees and scrub.

The stones come from the Teglio area, most of them are in very good conditions, all are accompanied by illustrative material and there are several information panels.
