This site consists of 7 round barrows located inside a small area with some larger trees and some high vegetaion. Some of the larger barrows were easy to see even with the growth of small bushes, trees and high grass. Except from the vegetation the cemetery does not seem to have any disturbances or damege.
Four of the largest barrows are easily visible. The largest barrow is 23 metres in diameter and 2,3 metres in height. It has a beautiful shape and is located in the centre of the cemetery. It has a very nice ring of large stones around its edges. It say on kulturminnesøk that several of the barrows have stone rings around them but I could only see this in the largest barrow.
The second largest barrow is also easily visible. It is 15 metres in diameter and around 1,5 metres in height. It is close to the largest barrow, almost edge to edge. It has a large tree growing on top. The third barrow I could see is almost 12 metres in diameter and around 1 metre in height. The rest of the cemetery is too overgrown to see the smaller barrows which are around 4-6 metres in diameter and only 0,4 metres in height.
