Two Round Barrows in Telemark, Norway
Fesjåplassen is a large area where there traditionally have been arranged auctions for kettle and other farming animals, the large area is also in use for different arrangements like scout camps and concerts etc. Inside this area there are two beautiful round barrows.
One barrow is inside a small garden inside a building connected to the fesjåplassen. It has 3 old birch trees growing on it and it is covered with short grass. It is 18 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. It is called "Brennehaugen."
The other barrow is located close to a large barn building. The barrow has a very nice round shape and only short cut grass so it is easy to see. The barrow is 20 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. A large birch tree is growing close to the top of the barrow.
