This site consists of a number of burial cairns. When I visited this site, only the two largest were visible because of the thick forest.


The two large cairns are about 25-30 metres across and from 1 to 2 metres in height. They are massive and very impressive! They are partially overgrown with pine trees, but still they are easily visible. They both have deep craters in the top and have been dated back to the bronze age, about 3000 years ago.

The area around is very beautiful, inside a forest with smaller pine trees and if you go further down the path to the sea, there is a very nice view across the fjord.

A sign has been placed at the main road and a path leads through the forest down to the cairns.
