Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland

Krakahaugen or "Kraken Barrow" is a round barrow located in a fruit tree farm at the edge of a natural rock outcrop overlooking the Fyksesund fjord. From the barrow it is a beautiful view over the fjord in the south west. From the barrow the terrain slopes very steep down to the sea in the south west.

The barrow is 11-12 metres in diameter and around 2 metres in height. It does not seem to have any damage but is covered in small fruit trees and can be difficult to make out.
