And note that these Finnish barrows are seaside barrows. If you have to spend centuries in a tomb, why not have a sea view?

The second barrow picture does have similarity with abandoned Hobbit holes! Here's a photo to compare: movie Hobbiton site in Matamata, NZ

Indeed.

So are they barrows or hobbit-holes? Maybe we need a poll.

Very cool pictures anyway, Agan!

Does that view come with visits from Ulmo?
