Smiehaugen barrow is a huge iron age round barrow located partially on a lawn of a local house and partly on a grassy meadow. The barrow is easily visible since it is only covered in short grass. Parts of the barrow have been dug out in later years, giving the barrow almost a "step" appearance since 1/3 of the top have been removed.
The Smiehaugen barrow is 40 metres in diameter and around 4 metres in height.
Just south of the smiehaugen barrow is another round barrow around 20 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. This barrow has been damaged by a garage buildt partly into the barrow and it is also overgrown with large trees.
