The old Vrådal Church Cemetery (Kviteseid municipality) is located at Sanden, relatively close to the east end of Vråvatn, about half a mile west of the village center Eidstod and a few kilometers from Roholte, where the old stave church was located.

The cemetery is still there to see, overgrown in a grove and surrounded by a stone fence.

This stave church was replaced in 1685 by a notched, octagonal church on the same site (consecrated 1686). This was reportedly the country's first octagonal church, while the oldest among the remaining church's Hospital in Trondheim. Certain marks in the ground in the cemetery to be remains of this octagonal church. In 1886 this church was too small, and it was decided to move the church instead of sand, to some protests. Recent worship in the old church was held on 19 May 1887, according to a posting on the site, and the church was demolished in 1888, after the present church was completed.
