Barrow Cemetery in Akershus
Inside the park of the local Askim hospital and partially inside a schoolyard is a very beautiful barrow cemetery. All the barrows are only covered in short lawn grass and some larger trees. Playing apparatuses are set up in between the barrows.
The barrow cemetery consists of 14 very pretty round barrows and one triangular shaped barrow. The largest barrow is around 22 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height. The top looks a little flattened. It is the barrow furthest to the North East. It has two smaller barrows almost buildt into it on each side with the edges tuching one another.
Three more barrows are oriented on a east-west line. They are all around 12 metres in diameter and 1 metre in height. One of them have a stone boulder in its center. The second largest barrow is 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height and located furthest to the west just next to the fence surrounding the park. The rest of the barrows are between 6 and 10 metres in diameter and all of the barrows seems to be intact and have no damage to them.
