The building stones from Erland ( Norwegian Bautasteinene på Erland ) are on the eponymous courtyard, west of Skjoldastraumen near Haugesund in the Rogaland Fylke in Norway .

On the farm there are seven building stones arranged in the shape of a plow from the Scandinavian Iron Age . The area is full of burial mounds, hills named after gods, a cave with archaeological finds. The seven stones form a very rare collection. Building stones are usually alone or in pairs in connection with graves. Erland may have been around as early as the early Iron Age, around 500 BC. A religious meeting place.

Nearby are the Resastaven and the building stones from Grinde .
