Geocache Description:

Rogalands Stonehenge. :)

Stoplesteinan (also known as stoplesteinane) is a stone circle in the town of Egersund, Rogaland in Norway. The local people often refer to it as a Stonehenge in miniature, although the only thing the two stone rings have in common is that they both are made of stone positioned in a circular manner. The monument has a diameter of about 21 meters (69 feet) and consists of 16 raised stones. Some of the stones are up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) tall. The name probably originates from the word 'stopla', which can mean to stack or lay up. The old travellers road, 'St. Olafs vei' between Egersund and Sokndal, goes right by the Stoplesteinan. It is visible as a green strip in the vegetation just next to the stone circle. Recently an information sign has been erected some 10 to 20 meters (30–60 feet) south-east of Stoplesteinan, with support from EU's regional development funds - the INTERREG IIC-program for the North sea.

--------------------------

Stoplesteinan (også kjent som Stoplesteinane) er en steinsetting i Eigersund kommune, Rogaland. Steinsettingen består av 16 reiste steiner, og diameteren er ca. 21 meter. Noen av steinblokkene er opp til 1,20 meter høye. Navnet kommer trolig fra ordet stopla, som kan bety oppstable eller opplegge. Den gamle ferdselsveien "St. Olafs vei" mellom Egersund og Sokndal går forbi Stoplesteinan. Den avtegner seg som ei grønn stripe i vegetasjonen like ved monumentet. Nylig er det også satt opp et informasjonsskilt 10-20 meter sydøst nedenfor steinsirkelen med støtte fra EUs regionale utviklingsfond, INTERREG IIC-programmet for Nordsjøen.
