Barrow Cemetery in Telemark

This small barrow cemetery consists of four huge round barrows. They are all oriented on a line going north-west to south-east. One of the barrows are inside a tight forest and can be difficult to photograph. The other three barrows are out in a flat open grassy field with residential neighbourhoods to the east and west. From the top of the barrows it is a nice view over the town Porsgrunn.

Some of the barrows have been damaged by plowing and some of the once very impressive height have been disturbed. The barrows are still easily visible but have lost some of their originally height.

From North to south: The first barrow is 30 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height. The barrow is covered by high grass only. The second barrow is 39 metres in diameter and 2,75 metres in height, it is also only covered with grass. The third barrow is 39 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It is overgrown with grass and some few small trees. The fourth barrow furthest to the south is 40 metres in diameter and only around 1 metre in height. There was two more barrows at similar size to the south but these were erased in the 1950s to construction of some houses and a road.
