In a large grassy field with a beautiful view over the sea and the islands of Vesterålen is a small round barrow. Because of the totally flat field with short grass the barrow is visible from a far distance.
The barrow is 8 metres in diameter and 1 metre in height and does not seem to be damaged. It was once two more burial cairns next to the barrow but have sadly been lost in later years to plowing of the fields.
