Barrow Cemetery in Vestfold, Norway
This barrow cemetery was originally larger but some parts of it have been destroyed in later years because of farming and housebuilding. The barrow settlement today is divided in three parts at the edges and top of a large highland terrace overlooking the agricultural landscape and the town Sande to the west.
The first part of the cemetery on the south part of the ridge is heavily overgrown with small and larger trees and the barrows can be difficult to see. This part consists of four barrows with the diameter 18, 10, 12 and 10 metres and with a height of 3,5 to 1 metres. The largest barrow is 18 metres in diameter and 3,5 metres in height.
The part of the cemetery at the north east part of the ridge is also heavily overgrown and is located in a small forest between some houses. It consists of three barrows with the diameter 15, 10 and 6 metres. It is very difficult to see because of the forest vegeation.
The best visible part of the cemetery is to the north east and is located in and around the farm called Duni. It consists of only two barrows but the largest barrow is 20 metres in diameter and 4 metres in height. A small road goes around its edges making it easy to see but a small outhouse have been buildt at the centre of the barrow. The other barrow is 11 metres in diameter and 1,75 metres in height.
