Long Barrow in Vest-Agder

The Langhaug-Døset was a huge elongated burial cairn probably from early iron age or late bronze age. Sadly the barrow was ploughed away and excavated years ago except from a small piece in the north-west corner around 6 metres in diameter, however it is easy to see the mark where the original long barrow was located.

The cairn was once 55 metres in length, around 9 metres in diameter and around 3 metres in height, I could not find any information of any finds from the barrow.
