Barrow Cemetery in Hedmark. Just next to the road 222 is a small barrow cemetery. The barrows are located on a line from east to west following the edge of a low ridge or hill with grain field all around. The barrows can be difficult to see since they are heavily overgrown with leaf trees and smaller brush and high grass.
According to kulturminnesøk the site consists of four barrows and one cairn. The barrows are three round barrows and one elongated. The largest barrow is in the middle of the line, it is 15 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. Even with the height it is difficult to see trough the trees. The second largest barrow is furthest to the west and is 14 metres in diameter and around 2 metres in height.
The rest of the barrows including the cairn and the long barrow are small, only 5-8 metres in diameter and almost impossible to get an impression of the height through the vegetation.
