In 1612 the church stood nearer to the post, but it was later removed, owing to the encroachments of the river. At that time also the old church-yard at Qvam ceased to be used.

[When the present highroad was constructed the post was replaced by a large stone slab, inscribed:—

Here was the Leader of the Scots, George Sinclair, Buried after he had fallen at Kringelen, the 26th August 1612.—T. M.]
