Gardberg site

The Gardberg Site, situated east of the Einang Sound in Vestre Slidre, Oppland County, Norway, is a significant archaeological site comprising around 550 burial mounds and clearance cairns. These structures date back to the Roman Iron Age and continue into the Viking Age, indicating the long-term usage of the site for burial purposes. Notably, the site also includes the Einang stone, estimated to have been erected around 300 CE, which is situated atop one of the larger burial mounds. The site's extensive area, covering over 2 square kilometers, suggests a rich history of early industry and farming practices alongside its primary funerary function. Managed by the Valdres Museum, the Gardberg Site offers insights into the burial practices and societal structures of early Scandinavian societies.
