]]>Kenneth writes: This site has many resemblances with other sites in Norway believed to be pagan altars or ritualistic sites. I found this site via a small note on the internet, it has not been registered officially, only by a local archaeologist but the site has many resemblances to other similar sites.

]]>This hillfort was constructed on a remote plateau in Telemark, Norway. It has an inner 30m stone wall along a cliff with large stones at a possible gate, and a fragmented outer wall 80m to the SW. Other features include a bog, a stone structure for projectiles and a ravine with a cairn. It is reachable by a steep ravine path or 2km unmarked hike from the NE and offers superb views and ambience amid nearby barrow cemeteries and rock art.

]]>The local gallows hill at Flesberg in Buskerud is indeed a iron age round barrow. It is located just next to the road and with the river to the south west. Today the barrow has been partially restored although a modern stone with a bronze plate have been placed on the top and small stairs have been built into the barrows side. There is a more modern information poster about the barrow next to it.

]]>Just next to the road Frostavegen in Nord-Trøndelag and inside a open grassy fenced in field is a huge and monumental and very pretty round barrow. It is covered only with short grass and one large tree on one side and visible from a far distance! From the barrow it is a beautiful view over the sea to the north and north west.

]]>This hillfort is about 12 km west of Tønsberg, on an oval shaped and forest covered rocky hilltop with a very nice view to the south and south east. A small footpath leads up from a local farm to the hillfort. The path had some fallen trees directly over the path and it was a challenge to get around them as the forest is very thick in this part.
