Round Barrow(s) in Hordaland
The Endrehaugen barrow is one of the most beautiful round barrows I have seen for a long time! It is a huge round barrow located just above a complex of farm buildings just a little down the hill. The barrow is covered only with short cut grass and the location on the edge of a high ridge overlooking the Granvin lake makes it visible for a very long distance! From the barrow there is a beautiful view over the lake.
The barrow is around 35 metres in diameter and around 9-10 metres in height! It is very tall for its diameter, making the barrow almost conical in shape. It has a beautiful shape and a rounded top. A small country road has cut off a small piece of the south-west edge of the barrow, but does not any large harm to the barrow.
