This barrow is Hedmarks largest burial mound! It has a beautiful shape and doesnt have a crater on top like most barrows from iron age and seems undisturbed. The barrow is located inside a small public park at a small peninsula in the Mjøsa lake just outside the town center of Hamar next to the main road. An ancient road passes just next to the barrow.
The barrow is around 50 metres in diameter and about 6 metres in height. It has larger trees growing on its sides and around but the barrow itself is mostly covered in tall grass making it easy to see. Some information posters have been placed next to the barrow. The barrow must have been easy to see from anyone coming by boat or along the ancient road.
