At the edge of a local road between some farms at Egge is a very pretty round barrow. The area around is a high hill with a beautiful view over the lake Randsfjorden and the Hadeland area.
The barrow is 12 metres in diameter and 2,2 metres in height and very pretty. It doesnt seem to have any damage or crater on top at all and have a beautiful round profile with steep sides. Only two birch trees is growing on top of it and it is easy to see.
