Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland
Many large barrows are called "The King's Mound" in Norway, the name is often given to a local large barrow. The King's Mound at Ask is around 20 metres across and around 1 metre in height.
The mound is located on a hilltop overlooking the nearby islands. The view is, however, blocked with large leaf trees. The barrow has been ploughed over in later years and the top is almost flattened.
