Gardberg Site (Norwegian: Gardbergfeltet) is an archaeological site located to the northeast of the Einangsundet strait in Vestre Slidre Municipality in Innlandet County, Norway.[1]
Gardberg consists of several burial cairns and clearance cairns as well as areas of early industry and farming. It is the location of about 550 burial mounds dating from the Roman Iron Age and the Viking Age. Investigations have established that the site was inhabited beginning in the Stone Age. Situated on one of the bigger burial mounds is the Einang stone (Norwegian: Einangsteinen), estimated to c. AD 300.[2][3]
