Jellhaugen, Bronze Age burial mound in Østfold County, Norway
The Jellhaugen archaeological site features an 85-meter diameter burial mound that rises 9 meters above the surrounding landscape in eastern Norway.
Carbon dating of a cremation grave discovered within the mound during the 1968 excavation places its construction between 426 and 598 AD.
The mound represents ancient Norse burial practices, containing burned human remains and an amber pearl, indicating the social status of the interred individual.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through guided tours organized by local heritage organizations, with interpretive panels explaining the historical context.
Ground-penetrating radar surveys in 2018 revealed an adjacent Viking cemetery containing a 20-meter-long ship burial and remains of five longhouses.
