This is one of the largest round barrows in the district of Midt-Telemark! It is however so overgrown with different large trees it is almost impossible to make out! This overgrowing of ancient sites is a big problem about so many sites I am visiting! The barrow is next to a student housing building.
The round barrow is around 42 metres in diameter and at least 5 metres in height, making it a very large barrow! There are also 4 smaller round barrows around it and a little further south but they are hard to locate in the tight forest.
