Nøkkelhaugen submitted by kenntha88 : Site in Nord-Trøndelag Norway (Vote or comment on this photo)
Nøkkelhaugen cairn is one of the largest burial cairns in Trøndelag. It is located on a rocky hilltop overlooking the flat ladscape of Ørlandet to the south and east and a wonderful view over the sea to the north and west. The lighthouse at Kjeungskjæret i also visible from the cairn. Not ancient but a also a protected heritage building.

The cairn has a diameter of around 40 metres and 3-4 metres in height. It is a beautiful example of a bronze age burial cairn despite some damage. It has a crater with a diameter of 15 metres and 2 metres deep in the center and another crater in the east side. No excavations have taken place here but it is believed to be from bronze age. It is surrounded by high grass and some natural rock outcrops but the cairn itself is without vegetation, making it easy to see.
