Cairn in Rogaland

The Tangarhaugen cairn is a huge beautiful barrow cairn located on top of a small natural terrace overlooking the open ocean to the west. The barrow is in a open grassy field and is visible for miles! It is a beautiful example of a bronze age burial cairn!

The cairn is 31 metres in diameter and around 5 metres in height. It has a very pretty round and pointy top. The cairn is overgrown with grass and moss and is more resembling a barrow but is indeed a cairn. A sailing mark for ships is located on top of the large mound, probably since it is so easily visible from the sea. A bunker complex was made during the second world war directly into the bedrock under the cairn. The concrete entrance is visible to the east of the cairn.

60 metres directly to the east of the Tangarhaugen cairn is another large round cairn. It is 28 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. It has some moss growing on it, but some stones are still easily visible. The cairn is enclosed in a stone fence. The stone fence has been built very close to the edges of the cairn.

The barrow cairns has not been excavated but based on finds from other nearby cairn it is believed to be from the bronze age.
