Flatelandsmoen is an extensive barrow cemetery located on a flat natural sand terrace overlooking the Driva river to the west and a side river to the south east. The terrace and barrow cemetery is stretching around 180 metres south-west to noth-east and around 90 metres wide with the majority of barrows found at the south edge of the terrace. A small road goes straight trough the cemetery.
The cemetery has no brush or large trees vegetation and the barrows only have short moss and grass growing on them, making them very easy to see and photograph. Most of the barrows are medium-sized to small but one very large barrow stands out. In all there are 39 barrow in this cemetery, all of them look to be round barrows.
The largest barrow is called "Koshaug", it is around 30 metres in diameter and 5-6 metres in height. It has a beautiful shape and it previously had a huge crater in the top. The crater was filled in and the barrow restored in 1975.
There are three round barrows forming a triangle in the center of the cemetery, they are 12 to 16 metres in diameter and 1 to 2 metres in height. A line of five barrows are located at the south-west edge of the terrace, they are around 10-12 metres in diameter and 1 to 1,5 metres in height.
The rest of the barrows in the cemetery range in size from 6 to 9 metres and up to 0,5 metres in height. Another two medium sized barrows are so close to the old road that the edge of the barrows have been cut away by the road.
