Bergþórshvoll (Modern Icelandic: [ˈpɛrkˌθour̥sˌkʰvɔtl̥]; Old Norse: [ˈberɡˌθoːrsˌxwolː]; usually anglicized as Bergthorsknoll) is an area in Vestur-Landeyjar in Rangárvallasýsla, Iceland. Bergþórshvoll is an important setting in the Icelandic saga Njál's saga, the home and scene of the final burning of Njáll Þorgeirsson and his entire family.^[1]

Antiquarian Sigurður Vigfússon (1828–1892) conducted an archaeological dig on the site at the end of the 19th century. Matthías Þórðarson (1877-1961) made an extensive excavation at Bergþórshvoll during 1927, 1928 and 1931.^[2][3]
