This site containing a beautiful stone circle and 10 round barrows are made into a beautiful park area with some very large old oak trees and with information posters and a small parking lot. The grass in the stone circle is cut short and the circle and one of the barrows are easy to see though all barrows except one is inside a tight part of a forest. Next to the stone circle are some picnic tables. From the parking lot it is around 100 metres through the forest to the circle.

The stone circle once consisted of 16 stone blocks, 15 in a circle and one in the middle. The middle stone has later fallen down and is overgown with earth and grass and cannot be seen. Of the other stone blocks, some have toppled over but they are still easily visible. They range in height from 0,5m to 1 metre and from 40cm to 1,2 metre wide. The distance between the stones are from 2 to 3,5 metres and the stone circle in total have a diameter of around 20 metres. Four larger trees are inside the circle itself.

The round barrows range in size from 6 to 12 metres in diameter and from 0,5 to 1 metre in height. Only the closest barrow to the circle could be found, it is around 8 metres in diameter and 1 metre in height. The other barrows are inside a tight part of the forest.
