Stone setting in Sola
There were five triangular stone settings in Sola in Jæren by the Hafrsfjord in Norway . Either Treoddene or low stone paving occur in Sola .
At each point of the triangle there is or was a large, upright stone block. Several stone settings have a recess in the middle, in which a lost wooden post could have been. Triangular stone settings have been classified into three different types; Triangles, Treudds (norweg. Treodder) and stars. There are around 150 in total in Norway.
The triangles are usually equilateral or have two longer and one shorter sides. These are the smallest systems in Norway, with sides of 1 to 8 meters. They usually only consist of a stone pavement and are often located on the coast.
The Treoddene ( Swedish Treuddar ) are triangular in shape, with the sides slightly indented towards the center. In Norway they are usually built as mounds of earth, sometimes with stone edges, but also as pure stone settings . They vary in size from 7 to 22 meters and can be up to a meter high.
Stars have three arms that extend straight from the center and are equally wide along their length, with approximately the same angle between the arms. They reach arm lengths of 4 to over 22 meters and heights of up to one meter.
