On a small hill in the garden of a local farm is a very pretty round barrow. It has steep sides and a somewhat flattened top. A small path circles around the barrow to the top which also has a number of larger garden trees. A hedge blocked most of the view when I visited the site and I didnt wanted to go into someones garden.
The barrow has mostly short grass growing on it and a huge boulder, around 5 metres long and 1,5 metres in height lies just next to the barrow. Maybe a fallen menhir? According to kulturminnesøk the barrow is 23 metres in diameter and 4 metres in height. The barrow is regularly beeing kept in good condition by the local landlord.
