This is a huge round burial mound from the viking age. It is about 30 metres across and up to 3 metres tall near Steinkjer in Norway.
It is very close to the main highway (E6) and is very easy to see and visit. The mound is covered with grass and also some leaf and some pine trees, so it is hard to see the entire mound.
A good example of one of the many large single iron age burial mounds that seems to be almost everywhere in the area around Trondheimsfjord.
