The Prinshaug - The Prince's Mound - the second largest of the huge burial mounds of Rehaugene

During the early part of the Bronze Age, Avaldsnes on the island of Karmøy, strategically situated along the straits of the Karmsund, became the centre of a mighty principality, with strong connections to Denmark and Europe.
The imposing Rehaugene mounds, dominating the landscape, were built during the Bronze Age. The princes of Avaldsnes were to become the major force in uniting Norway during the Viking period.
