Cairn in Hordaland

These two large cairns are located high up in a hillside on the northern side of the Vinje valley that slopes down to the south east. From the cairns and road above it is a beautiful view over the valley. They are both surrounded by agricultural field. The largest cairn is visible from a very long distance and has a dominating position overlooking the landscape.

The largest and easiest visible cairn is 20 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. It is overgrown with grass and looks more like a barrow than a cairn. It has some large trees on the top and to the north it is piled up some farm equipment but even with this disturbance the cairn looks very pretty and has a beautiful shape.

75 metres to the south east is another cairn inside a small forest. According to kulturminnesøk it is 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It is less visible than the larger since it has more trees growing around it but is easiest visible from the road to the north west.
