Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland

Vetlehaugen is a beautiful round barrow located in a grassy field on a hill sloping down towards a valley in the south. The barrow doesnt seem to have any damage to it and from the barrow it is a beautiful view over the valley.

The barrow is around 13 metres in diameter and 2,3 metres in height from the south side of the barrow. It is probably been buildt on a natural small hill making the barrow look a little higher than it is. It is overgrown only with grass, making it easy to see from the road going past just a few metres above the barrow.
