Round Barrow(s) in Akershus

Close to a farm building and on a natural terrace overlooking the river Glomma are two large round barrows. They are both surrounded by large birch trees and since I didnt wanted to walk out in the grain field I could only photograph them from a distance. They can be difficult to see trough the thick trees.

The largest barrow called Hennihaugen is 35 metres in diameter and around 3 metres in height. It is supposed to have a beautiful rounded top but this is difficult to see from where I was standing. The other barrow is 31 metres in diameter and about 4 metres in height. A small shed has been built on top of the barrow.
