Stoplesteinan, Stone circle near Egersund, Norway
The Stoplesteinan monument consists of 16 raised stones arranged in a circular formation measuring 21 meters in diameter, with stones reaching heights of 1.2 meters.
Excavations conducted during the 1930s revealed stone-paved ground in the center and burnt materials, suggesting the location served as an ancient burial site.
Similar stone formations found throughout Scandinavia, known as Domarringar in Sweden, represent typical funerary architecture from the Iron Age period.
The stone circle can be accessed through a 15-minute walk up Skårabrekkå from County Road 44, with an information sign located southeast of the formation.
The monument stands near St. Olav's Way, a pilgrimage route connecting Egersund and Sokndal, visible as a green strip in the surrounding vegetation.
