Klobnehaugen is one of the largest round barrows in Lindesnes and Sørlandet areas. It is right next to to a road crossing and inside a small public park. The name klobnehaugen is from the local dialect word klobne that means ditch, probably because the barrow used to have a deep ditch passing almost trough the entire barrow but have later been filled in and the barrow restored.
The barrow is covered only with short grass and a few trees and easily visible from the road. Next to the barrow is a small parking lot and an information poster on the barrows east side. A local tale tells about some local people wanting to dig into the barrow but then they heard voices from inside it and in the next second flames started shooting out of the barrow and they decided to leave and stop digging. The barrows total diameter is around 24 metres and a height of 5 metres.
