Building stone at Gamle Prestegårdsvei
The stone monument at Gamle Prestegårdsvei (also called Prestestein) is in Egersund in Fylke Rogaland in Norway .
The building stone is in the fence of a house just 0.4 m from the road, in the middle of Egersund. The menhir was used as a fence post for many years and two holes were drilled in its broad side. It comes from a nearby burial ground that was destroyed long ago .
The stone is about 2.0 meters high, 85 cm wide at the base and 30 cm thick. The tip ends in a point so it looks like an arrow. The large flat sides are smooth.
Nearby is the Stoplesteinan stone circle .
