Ytre Grevstad site
The Ytre Grevstad site is located southwest of Fevik near Grimstad in Fylke Agder in Norway . The site near the coast consists of a stone circle , two building stones , two round burial mounds and three loops . The stone circle and the building stones lie / stand in a private garden. The burial mounds and roos are in the thick forest.
The stone circle has a diameter of about 20.0 meters and consists of nine round stones and a slightly larger stone in the center of the circle. All stones are roughly the same size and shape. The heights of the 0.6 to 1.1 meter wide stones are between 40 and 75 cm. The distance between the stones is about 7.0 meters. The inside of the circle was paved with smaller stones but was covered with grass.
In the northwest of the stone circle on the edge of the dense forest there is a building stone about 3.0 meters high, 1.3 meters wide and about 35 cm thick. It has a rounded tip and the shape of a stone slab. The building stone next to it broke into three pieces years ago. The piece that was left in the ground is about three feet high. The top of the stone is on the ground and overgrown. The middle part is said to be on a local farm. The stone was probably higher than the intact one.
The round barrows and roosts are 11.0 to 16.0 meters in diameter and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in height.
