The mound is supposedly dedicated to a Norwegian king that was born around the year 900 AD and who was killed by his own brother. The mound is of great importance, mainly because of its ancientness and because it represents the old Viking culture. The mound was excavated once, in 1917 and examined by historians and scientists.
