It was long believed that the large round hill called Mørhaugen was a natural feature but recent research shows it is most likely a huge burial mound.
The barrow is around 50 metres in diameter and around 8 metres in height. This would be one of the largest barrows in the Hedmark area! It is overgrown with large trees and smaller brush and appear mostly like a "island" in the grain field but it is visible from far away.
