Two round barrows with a standing stone on top in Vest-Agder, Norway
This site consists of two very pretty round barrows, each with a standing stone on top in the centre. One is located in the middle of a open gras field that was not in use so it was easy to get to the barrow, the other one is located to the south east and is at the edge of the large field. I didnt know of this site before I went to visit the settlement at Sosteli and I just happen to see these beautiful barrows from the road as I was driving trough the village!
The smallest round barrow out in the open field is 13 metres in diameter and 0,75 metres in height. It is overgrown with a little taller grass than the rest of the field. The standing stone on top is 2 metres in height, around 50cm wide and 30cm thick. It has a oval cross section and a rounded top.
The other round barrow is larger, around 10 metres in diameter and 1,75 metres in height. It is also overgrown with higher grass. The standing stone in the center is 1,8 metres in height, 25cm wide and 25cm thick with a square cross section and a flat top.
