Barrow Cemetery in Akershus
The burial cemetery consists of 8 round barrows. One of them is a huge beautiful barrow. The cemetery is inside the old parking area for Gardermoen airport. All the barrows except a couple of the smaller ones are heavily overgrown with small and large trees and are hard to make out but I will provide a LIDAR image where they are easily visible.
The largest barrow is in the center of the cemetery. It is 25 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height and have a beautiful shape although despite the size it is hard to make out trough the vegetation.
Four of the barrows are around 15 metres in diameter and 1,5 to 2 metres in height while the smallest barrows are 6-8 metres in diameter.
