Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland
In the middle of the small village Nordheimsund and inside a small local park on a round natural grassy hill overlooking the Hardangerfjord is a round barrow. From the barrow there is a beautiful view to the south and east.
The barrow is covered in only short lawn grass and appear to be flattened but is still easily visible. It is 20 metres in diamter and 75cm in height but the edge can be followed clearly around the barrow. Just next to the barrow is a memorial stone from the 1800s Napoleonic wars. From the local village road there is a short walk up the hill on a footpath.
