At the edge of a grassy huge natural river terrace and next to a small local road crossing is a small round barrow. The barrow is around 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It is covered only in grass and can easily be seen. The barrow is just next to the road crossing almost tuching the two roads. The barrow is locally called Dronninghaugen or the queens barrow.
Next to the barrow, on the south side of the road is a huge ancient oak, this is said to be a old spirit tree and local people used to sacrifice beer at the trunk all up until the 1800s.
