Stone circles at Hunn, Stone circles burial ground in Fredrikstad, Norway

The Hunn stone circles consist of nine rings constructed with upright stones, each containing between 12 to 15 stones in circular formations.

Archaeological excavations between 1950 and 1953 uncovered fallen stones that were subsequently raised and stabilized using packed stones at their bases.

The site forms part of Oldtidsruta, a concentration of Bronze and Iron Age monuments including burial mounds and rock carvings in eastern Norway.

Located at coordinates 59.2176439N, 11.0764589E, the stone circles can be accessed via marked paths near highway 110 in the Fredrikstad region.

Two cairns at the site contained Viking-age artifacts, including six stone pearls and two bronze buckles, dating from 800 to 1050 CE.
