Dale-Gudbrand's farm is a historical site in Hundorp in Sør-Fron Municipality in the Gudbrandsdalen valley of Eastern Norway. It was selected as the millennium site for Oppland county and for Sør-Fron Municipality in 1999. The farm lies in the middle of a major tumulus area dating back to the Iron Age. In 1755 Gerhard Schøning described five large grave mounds there as one of them was being removed. Now four of them remain; with diameters between 23 and 32 meters, they are undoubtedly the largest in the Gudbrand Valley. In addition to the mounds, there is a square ring of stones and the remains of a round ring of stones at the site. There are also two medium-sized tumuli at the neighboring Hjetlund farm associated with the large tumuli at Hundorp.
