The two restored cairns are located on the highest hilltop and just at the edge where the terrain falls steep down to the shoreline. These two cairns are 15 metres in diameter and around 1 metre in height. They are built so close the stones touch each other. Further to the north is the largest cairn, it is 18 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. The rest of the cairns are 8-10 metres in diameter and some of them are damaged and stones scattered around.
The cemetery is believed to be from 500 to 1000 AC. The barrow cemetery probably belonged to a nearby settlement.
There is a parking lot around 200 metres to the south and a footpath leads along the ocean to the barrow cemetery. There are also several information posters.
