Stoplesteinan

Eigersund Municipality, Norway

Stoplesteinan or Stoplesteinane is a stone circle located just outside the town of Egersund in Eigersund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The monument has a diameter of about 21 meters (69 feet) and consists of 16 raised stones. Some of the stones are up to 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) tall. The Pilgrim's Route (St. Olafs vei) between Egersund and Sokndal goes right by the Stoplesteinan. It is visible as a green strip in the vegetation just next to the stone circle. Recently an information sign has been erected some 10 to 20 meters (33 to 66 feet) south-east of Stoplesteinan.
