Round Barrow(s) in Nord-Trøndelag

In a small neighbourhood in the town of Namsos is a pretty round barrow. It is located next to a local road between some houses. A payved yard tuches the barrows east edge and the wall on the other. The barrow is covered only with grass and some larger birch trees and is easy to see. The barrow is around 18 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height according to Kulturminnesøk. The area where the barrow is located is on a high hilltop overlooking the Namsen valley. From the barrow it is a beautiful view over the valley and Namsen river to the south.
