Round Barrow(s) in Telemark
This site consists of two large iron age round barrows located both inside a small neighbourhood with private houses close to the barrows. The barrows are on a small ridge with a small terrace with a very beautiful view to the Heddal valley to the south.
The largest barrow is called Semhaugen, it is 20 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. It is covered only with grass and a single tree on top. Around parts of the edges there is lines of garden trees.
The other round barrow is 15 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height. It has a big crater on top and some large trees growing on top. The barrows are easy to see even with the vegetation.
