Pagan grave (kuml) at the farm of Bessastaðir, recorded in Minjastofnun's national register of archaeological sites (Fornleifaskráning) as 1737-18. Register type: heimild; function: kuml; dated 800–1100; condition: sést ekki; protection: friðað. Iceland was settled c. 870; a range starting then means the site may go back to the settlement period.
