Looking towards the kerb circle. These two stone rings are known as ‘kulthus’ or cult-houses, thought to have been used in ritual ceremonies, another can be found in the kerb circle itself.
The central standing stone in the Penningagraven had been broken into three parts many years ago but has been sympathetically stuck back together, the joins are visible on the photograph.
View across the steam separating the two sites on the Angakasen burial field.

Although less intact than its nearby more impressive neighbour, Gladsax Norre Vang shares a similar construction.
