Few areas in Norway have a consistency of burial monuments from the iron ages like this area; approximately 90 monuments. Kongshaugen in Flisaker is the largest. It has been a power center for centuries, at least until 1000 A.D. The rich calcareous soil and local climate lay the foundation for the prosperity back to the iron ages. If pilgrims crossed Brumunddal at Spikdalen is it likely they also were passing through here.
