Further information:
A burial chamber constructed from stone slabs was found in mound 2, excavated by Oluf Rygh in 1870. Here, remnants of a funerary pyre were found with burnt bones, along the cruciform brooch and weapons; Two spearheads, a shield boss, and shield fittings. The brooch is typical of the Migration Period. Several similar cruciform brooches from this period have been found in Norway.  

The cruciform brooch, also known as a fibula in technical terms, is made of bronze and cast in one piece. It has a short pin holder and is decorated with concentric circles in the middle of the head-plate.

The foot is shaped into an animal head with marked ears and broad nostrils. The needle is missing, and the head-plate seems to be missing parts of two rounded bulbs. One of the bulbs fitted on the side is still present and indicates the cruciform shape of the brooch.
