Tingstad stone circle
The Tingstad Stone Circle is a stone circle or Domarring on Tingstadveien in Grålum , Sarpsborg municipality in Fylke Viken, Norway .
The Tingstad site consists of the stone circle and a small round hill. In 1923 a house was built just a meter from the circle, but the stone circle was not touched. It is on a small sandy hill with some larger trees and tall grass, also within the circle.
The stones of the circle with a diameter of 8.0 to 9.0 meters reach heights of 60 to 100 cm. The distance between them varies between 1.5 and 2.5 meters. Most have round heads. The flat broad sides of the stones are directed towards the center of the circle. Near the stones is a round hill with a diameter of about 15.0 meters and about one meter high. It's overgrown and difficult to find.
In the vicinity of Sarpsborg there are several small and large burial grounds . The stone circle was probably also part of a larger burial ground.
