Round Barrow in Rogaland
In a large open grazing ground for cows there is a large round barrow. This barrow is easily visible in the flat grassy landscape. It is around 30 metres in diameter and around 3 metres in height. It has probably been higher, but a large crater on top has probably destroyed much of the original shape. Today it appears a little flattened. It has large trees growing on it.
