Øyem Round Barrow
Øyem Round Barrow submitted by kenntha88 : This huge and beautiful mound make me feel small! (Vote or comment on this photo)
This round barrow mound is beautiful! It is a massive round barrow located just south of the Namsen river. It is a very impressive sight! The mound is called "Storhaugen" (The big mound) or "Offerhaugen" (The sacrificial mound) locally.

The mound is about 50 metres across and about 7-8 metres in height, it is one of the largest in Norway and also the largest in middle Norway.

The mound is covered in grass and is located in a grassy field just north of a farm nearby. The mound is visible for miles away!
