Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland

Just next to a small convenience store at the main Hardanger road is a round barrow called "Leirhaug". From the barrow it is a beautiful view over the Hardanger fjord. The barrow is just to the south of a small parking lot and the edge have been damaged a little. On top of the barrow is a picnic table.

The barrow is according to kulturminnesøk 14 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. It is covered only with short cut grass and easily visible both from the road and the sea.
