Barrow Cemetery in Telemark

This is a beautiful barrow cemetery located in a fir forest overlooking the valley and the Tyrivatn lake to the east. The forest and terrain has a gently slope to the east. The forest is not particullary tight and the forest ground and barrows are covered only with short grass and moss making all of them, even the smaller ones easy to see. Only a few of the barrows seems to have the typical crater in the top.

The barrow cemetery consists of 17 round barrows and one cairn. The largest three barrows and the cairn are large, around 17-18 metres in diameter and 1,5 to 2 metres in height. They all have clear ditches around the edges.
8 barrows range in size from 10 to 15 metres in diameter and vary in height from 1 to 1,8 metres in height. All of them also have clear ditches and most of them seems to be undamaged.
The rest of the barrows are 6 to 8 metres in size and because of the low vegetation they are also easy to see.

This cemetery was described as late as 2014 and have just recently been added to kulturminnesøk. From a local road it is a footpath leading up the hill to the cemetery.
