The settlement is located inside private gardens, partially inside a very tight forest and some in a small park. Several burial cairns have been damaged by roads and house construction in later years but several burial cairns are still easily visible.
The settlement site consists of one long house mark, 35 burial cairns and at least 10 clearing cairns.
The house turf or mark is located in the south part of the site. It has a length of around 27 metres, width around 7 metres and relatively thick walls. It is however very overgrown with small trees and brush and almost not possible to find.
The burial cairns are spread all around the site with the largest two around 10 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. One is just next to the road to a very large and beautiful modern villa. The rest of the cairns are 5 to 8 metres in diameter and 0,5 to 1 metre in height. One is just next to the main road and easy to see.
