Two large iron age or bronze age burial cairns near the farm øyster-Skei.
They are on opposite sides of the country road passing through the farm. There are other smaller cairns around the farm, but these are overgrown and of small size so I could not find them.
The barrow on the west side of the road is just next to a small shed and a fence and a garden. The garden fence cuts off a little piece of the cairn on its north side. The cairn is 17 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height. It is overgrown with grass and some larger leaf trees, but despite this the cairn is very easy to see.
The cairn on the east side of the road has only grass and short moss on it and no trees making it easy to see it from the road. It is 13 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height and has a deep crater on top. There are three smaller cairns around it, but they are very small and not possible to find (by the author).
