Barrow Cemetery in Nordland

The barrow cemetery is located on a natural sand terrace with short grass and small brush overlooking the sea. The Hovden area is in itself a beautiful northern coastal area! It feels like driving out to the end of the world. A small footpath goes from a parking lot up to the terrace overlooking the cove and the white sandy beach.

The barrow cemetery consists of 10 round barrows, one stone setting and one elongated barrow. The long barrow is definately the largest burial monument here and in fact it was the only one clearly visible. The long barrow is 18 metres in length, 7 metres wide and 1 metre in height. It is located on the highest point of the terrace. The round barrrows are small, from 3 to 8 metres in diameter and 0,3 to 0,5 metres in height but most of these are very difficult to make out in the terrain despite the low vegetation.
