Knoglerester var meget sparsomme men i udmaerket bevaringstilstand. Den hvide aske under en af kistebundene er forhistorisk H3-aske fra et kaempemaessigt udbrund i Hekla for ca. 2800 ar siden."

English translation:Two graves lie west of the church on Stong.
Explanation:
Two graves lie west of the church on Stong. The weather-worn remnants of the coffins were all around. Boneremants were very sparse but in very good condition. The white ashes under one of the coffins are prehistoric H3-ashes from a violent eruption of the Hekla volcano about 2800 years ago.
