This small barrow cemetery consists of 9 round barrows, the largest barrow called "Kongshaugen". It is located in a small forest next to a wheat field and a local motel. The site is overgrown with large pine and leaf trees and the barrows can be difficult to make out.
The first barrow is 22 metres in diameter and around 2 metres in height but it has been damaged by a huge crater in the side, it has almost taken away half of the barrow.
The second and largest barrow is around 17 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. It is overgrown with leaf trees and can be difficult to see.
The third barrow that I was able to locate is around 15 metres in diameter and around 1,3 metres in height, it has a huge crater on top filled with logs, boards and other waste.
The other smaller barrows are from 9 to 6 metres in diameter but they were impossible to see because of the tight vegetation.
