Barrow Cemetery in Rogaland
This was once a huge barrow cemetery from the iron age consisting of 50 to 60 barrows, some of the large round barrows with a diameter of over 20 metres. The sad remains of this once extensive barrow cemetery are three small round barrows on a hilltop next to the main highway.
The huge barrow cemetery was divided in three large parts, one called Østabøstøld with around 40 barrows and the largest around 25 metres in diameter. One part to the east called Rabbadn with around 20 barrows and one to the south across the river called Skeiehagane with 10 barrows. When the barrows were removed it was found burial chambers in several of the barrows and many artifacts have been found in this cemetery.
The three small round barrows left of this cemetery are around 7-8 metres in diameter and around 0,5 metres in height. The hilltop where they are located are overgrown only with short grass but even with the low vegetation the barrows can be hard to find. A small information poster have been placed on the site.
