Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland
The site consists of two very pretty round barrows located on a small hilltop in an open grassy field just behind a larger farm. A small footpath leads across the field and goes close to both barrows. In the open landscape the barrows are visible from far away. From the large farm it is a short walk across the field along the footpath.
The largest barrow to the west is 20 metres in diameter and 1,5-2 metres in height. It is called "kongshaugen". It has a very pretty shape and profile and doesnt seem to be having any damage. It is covered with short grass and a cluster of larger fir trees. Just next to Kongshaugen is possible remains of another overplown barrow.
To the east is another round barrow close to the road. It is 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. This barrow has a little higher grass vegetation and trees than Kongshaugen but is still easily visible.
