The triangular stone setting is to the south of the cemetery, all the three stones have fallen over and two of them have broken in two parts. On top of the third stone some ants have decided to build their anthive on top of the stone that barely sticks out from under it. The two visible stones are around 1,5 metres in length, around 30cm thick and around 10cm wide. They both ends in a sharp point but sadly have fallen over and broken in two.
Most of the barrows are small, they range in size from 4 to 7 metres in diameter and most of them are impossible to find in the tight vegetation. I could only find the two largest, they are around 11 metres in diameter and 1 to 1,5 metres high but also these are so overgrown they are very hard to make out.
