Barrow Cemetery in Akershus

The Tanum barrow cemetery is located on a high ridge or hill with a really nice view to the south, east and west. The area belongs to the old Tanum farm and with agricultural areas all around. The barrows are close to a small country road and also close to some of the farm buildings.

The small cemetery consists of five round barrows, one of them a beautiful large round barrow and another partially destroyed long barrow. The largest barrow is covered with grass and some larger birch trees and is around 20 metres in diameter and 4 metres in height. It has a beautiful rounded top and does not seem to have been disturbed.

The second largest round barrow is 16 metres in diameter and around 2,5 metres in height. It too has a nice shape and it has a small stone table on top. The long barrow is 27 metres in length, 2,5 metres wide and 1 metre in height. It has been almost destroyed since a small shed has been built in the middle. The last two barrows are 12-15 metres in diameter but they have almost been destroyed from farm work and road construction. They are also more overgrown with vegetation and can be difficult to see.
