The Hedlehaugen (also Askje Hedlehaugen) is a hill on the southern peninsula of Askjeveien on Mosterøy or Mosterøya, southwest of Vikevåg north of Stavanger in Fylke Rogaland in Norway .

There are three building stones on site , two of which were overturned in the past and are on the ground. The slender standing stone is about 5.0 meters high, 50 cm wide at the base and about 40 cm thick. It has an almost diamond-shaped cross-section and a rounded tip. The moss-covered stone is visible from afar on a grassy hill and slopes slightly.

The two stones lying on the ground are clearly visible. The larger one is about 3.9 m long and 40 cm wide. The smaller one is about 2.2 meters long, 70 cm wide and 40 cm thick.

The European route E39 runs through a tunnel under the stone.

About 1.5 km to the south, at Skorpefjell, is Askje Hedlehaug's 4.0 m high building stone .
