No other information about this site is avialable in Kulturminnesøk except that it is a barrow cemetery consisting of 11 round cairns. It is located just next to a small farming road inside a grazing ground for young cows. When visiting the site I was not able to get into the fence however I got some photos from the road.
One cairn looks to be very large however it could also be a cairn built on a natural rock outcrop but it is hard to tell from the distance. The hill itself or cairn is around 30 metres in diameter and 3,5 metres in height. The landscape around however have several sites with large and beautiful bronze age cairns so it could indeed be a huge cairn. It is overgrown with short grass so defining it is difficult.
It is hard to make out most of the other barrows, I could only photograph two of them, both around 8 metres in diameter and 0,5metres in height from the road but the area has several "bumps" and small hills that could be overgrown cairns. Some parts of the fenced in area also has a tight forest that more cairns could be located inside.
