Hammerstad in Stange

Around the farms in this area many items of historical importance that have discovered over the years.

A Celtic necklace (the only one of its kind in Norway) and a bronze ring (sacrificed in a pond to a fertility goddess of the Celtic Iron Age) was found here. There was also found a roman bronze and silver buckle at Hammerstad (300 meters east). 400 meters south is a 4-meter high tumulus close to the farm Hommerstad. Several items from the Viking Age (900s) have been discovered here like a sword from the early Iron Age with animal ornamentation on the pommel and the smith's name, Ulfberth, engraved in the blade, as well as a unique bone shape that may represent a "ulvhedne" (Viking warrior mask)
