Cairn in Sør-Trøndelag. On the highest point on a large rocky hill at the Agneset point and with a beautiful view over the Trondheimsfjord and the ocean on all sides except south west is a beautiful large bronze age burial cairn.
The cairn is around 20 metres in diameter and around 1,5 to 2 metres in height. It is damaged in some places and have two visible craters on top but is still easily visible. Some parts are overgrown with grass and moss and some parts are totally bare and the stones easily visible. The cairn would have been visible from the sea also. Not far away is a sailing mark. It is no footpath leading to the top of the rocky hill so getting up here was a bit of a challenge.
