Just to the north of Tessemvegen road and on a small hill is a large burial cairn believed to date from bronze age. The cairn is overgrown with moss and appears more like a barrow than a although some stones are visible in and around it. It has some birch trees growing on and around it but it is still easy to see from the road.
According to kulturminnesøk the cairn is 30 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. The top is a bit flattened so the original height is hard to tell.
