This barrow cemetery is located inside a tightly planted forest with smaller trees and some of the barrows can be very difficult to make out. The one easiest to find is one of the larger barrows with a standing stone on the top. The cemetery consists of 15 barrows, 12 round barrows and three long barrows and one standing stone.
Most of the barrows are flattened on top and some of them are almost destroyed. The round barrows are from 7 to 14 metres in diameter and from 0,5 to 1,5 metres in height. The standing stone is located on one of the larger round barrows, around 2 metres from the top. It is around 90cm in height, around 60cm wide and around 30cm thick. It has a rounded top. The long barrows and smaller round barrows was impossible to locate in the tight forest.
