Steinkjer Norway Presentation_Part 3

Eggevarmmen deserves more of a mention. Due to the rich history there and significant archeological finds. The finds include remains of a burial ship,all that was left were iron nails, 9th-10th century items, tools like swords, shield bosses, axes, scissors, equestrian items and jewelry.

The view overlooks water on two sides. Below is a modern day cemetery. Directly to the right in this photo is a viking barrow.


Helge Gravfelt and a viking stone circle.

This spot was one of the most amazing ones in the visit. There were 2 standing stones which were tall and thin. I imagine there were more and some of them were removed or fallen. The standing stones are relatively light in comparison to Stonehenge. Various mounds, scattered throughout community, and a stone circle with a center stone.


In the foreground is the stone circle, at the top of the mound is Steve Ford to give scale to the standing stones.



We continued onward to Bola after this site. Bola has one of the most famous carvings of the Neolithic ages of a life-size reindeer.
