Round Barrow(s) in Oppland

The site consists of two huge and monumental round barrows located in a grain field on the edge of a natural terrace sloping to the west. Both barrows are, despite the impressive size hard to get a good photo of due to be overgrown with huge trees. They look more like islands in the surrounding field. I was only able to get somewhat decent photos of the slightly smallest barrow a little down the slope from the largest.

Strangely enough and again despite the size both barrows seems to be undamaged in ancient times, having no craters in the centre like so many iron age barrows that we know. They just have small damages to the sides made my modern day tracktors.

The largest barrow called "kongshaugen" is 40 metres in diameter and around 5 metres in height according to the kulturminnesøk website. It is a little higher up the hill than the other. It is very hard to make out because of the thick forest.
The smaller barrow is 32 metres in diameter and 4 metres in height. It is the easiest barrow to photograph and easiest visible from the local road.
