This small barrow cemetery is located in a small fir and birch forest on a high ridge overlooking Dokka to the south-west and a very nice landscape! The forest blocks some of the view. The hill has a natural elongated terrace and most of the barrows are found here and some more on a lower terrace to the south-west.
The cemetery consists of 6 round barrows and 4 round cairns. The largest barrow is 15 metres in diameter and around 1,5 metres in height. It has a large crater on top. In another round barrow there are several large stone slabs in the center, maybe the remains of a burial chamber? The rest of the barrows and cairns are 4 to 10 metres in diameter, most of them overgrown and the cairns can resemble barrows more than actual cairns. Some of the smaller burials are very hard to see in the vegetation tho the largest ones are easy to find. Some of the barrows also have a circle of larger stones aruond them.
