[edit] Møllebukta
In 1983 a monument by artist Fritz Røed was raised in Møllebukta in Hafrsfjord (see picture). The monument is called "Sverd i Fjell" (Swords in Rock) and represents the Battle of Hafrsfjord. The crowns on the top of the swords represent the three districts that participated in the battle.
