Grjóther
Grjóther, útilistaverk eftir Sigurð Hansen. Hver steinn stendur fyrir einstaklinga sem tóku þátt í bardaganum og krossmark á steinum tákna þá sem féllu í bardaganum. Grjóther made by Sigurður Hansen. Each rock represents a fighter in the battle, the ones with a cross represent those who lost their life in the battle.
