Two Round Barrows in Rogaland, Norway
This site consists of two large round barrows located on a grassy hilltop overlooking a lake to the south and Sandnes to the north. The hilltop is covered in high grass and some larger trees but the barrows are easy to see.
The largest barrow is 19 metres in diameter and 2,3 metres in height. It has a big crater on top and a lot of larger rocks are visible in the bottom. It is located on the hills highest point and is easy to see from a long distance.
The second barrow is 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It is also easy to see and photograph.
