Homannhaugen is a large cairn located at the edge of a natural grassy plateau with a beautiful over the Ã…rdalsfjord. The ambience is a beautiful example of a West Norwegian fjord landscape. The small local road to the farm Hovland is going just east of the cairn.
The cairn is 15 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. The cairn is overgrown with high grass and large trees and it looks more like a barrow than a cairn. In the center it is a small crater. The cairn is believed to be older than some of the nearby barrows like the barrow cemetery at Hovland.
