Round Barrow in Vest-Agder
Dronninghaugen is a large round barrow located just outside the Valle kirke churchyard and cemetery and on the edge of a flat field next to a river.
The barrow was damaged several times and had one deep crater on top and a trench dug into it from one side. It was restored in 1973.
The barrow is 25 metres in diameter and around 4 metres in height. It is overgrown with short grass and some few large oak trees.
