This site consists of several ancient burial monuments, 3 round stone rings, 2 round barrows, 4 standing stones and 2 stone settings, but some have gotten lost due to road construction and the construction of private houses. Today most of the site is located in a small park area inside a residental neighbourhood. Most of the site is covered only with short grass and some larger leaf trees.
The burial monuments I could see was two stone rings, the first stone ring consists of 11 blocks of stone placed in a circle with a diameter of around 10 metres. The distance between the stones are around 1 to 1,5 metres. The rocks are very low in the ground, but the stone circle is covered with very short grass and is easily visible. The stones are around 20-30cm above ground with a diameter of around 60-90cm. It is possible that the visible stones once have been standing but have follen down over the years.
The other stone setting concsists of 9 blocks of stone. These stones are slightly higher in the terrain, but the circle is covered with tall grass and the ring can be hard to see. The stones are from 0,5 to 0,7 metres in height. The stone ring has a diameter of around 10 metres.
