Þá vas reisuligr haugr orpinn ept Harald á Rogalandi. Nafn þess hildings, {sonar Halfdans}, mun æ uppi lengi.
‘Then a magnificent mound was erected in memory of Haraldr in Rogaland. The name of the ruler, of Hálfdan’s son [= Haraldr], will be remembered for a very long time.’
Haraldr was buried near Haugesund in Rogaland, south-western Norway. It appears that Snorri must have visited Haraldr’s place of burial when he was in Norway, because he describes it in detail. See HhárfHkr (ÍF 26, 147-8 and n. 2) and Storm 1900, 89 n. 1.
