These grass covered mounds have an unusual, rolling appearance — almost like miniature terraced hills, having quite an otherworldly look. However, these mounds are natural coastal features, not man-made terraces or ancient agriculture. They’re created by a mix of wind-shaped dunes and glacial deposits, later covered by turf.
