  • Other sites of this type in Europe do not necessarily refer to graves but rather to cult sites where ritual gatherings took place. Sacrifices were often made for these purposes, which sometimes explains the finds of charcoal and bone. In this respect, the title of the highlight should rather be called "Stone Circles in Hunn".
    It is also sometimes not clear whether - if they are human bones - they were not later buried here.
    The cairns served as graves, of which there are two here, which are not even mentioned in the description.

  • The Hunn stone circle field is one of the largest in Norway. There are nine stone circles in total.Archaeological investigations have proven that these are tombs that have often been found within the circles. Nothing was found in the graves except pieces of charcoal and burned bones.
