Nesset
Nesset submitted by kenntha88 : Another very well-preserved barrow mound. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This site consists of a burial field with 5 small burial mounds and also two large burial mounds (about 20 metres across and 3 metres tall) some distance away on a footpath. The two large mounds are very well preserved and have a nice natural shape with a small "ditch" around the edges and a round and perfect top.

The burial field with the small mounds is partially in a private garden, so I could take some of the pictures from outside a fence.

The nature around is very pretty with overlook of the sea and with a beautiful forest around.
