The barrow cemetery is located inside a small forest inside the modern cemetery at Eidanger church. A cemetery within a cemetery to give it a better description! footpaths are crossing all over the modern cemetery and the barrows are between two of them and the crossing between them, making the barrows located in a triangle shaped area. The barrows are all close together.
The barrows are medium to small sized, the largest is 9,5 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. It is furthest to the south east in the site. The other barrows are 5-8 metres in diameter and 0,5 to 1 metre in height. Four of the barrows are oriented on a SE-NW line. All the barrows have clear ditches around them and despite the vegetation most of them are easy to see once I got close to them. All barrows have the typical crater on top.
