The southernmost cairn is the most overgrown with large and small trees and brush. It is still easily visible due to its size. It is 35 metres in diameter and 7 metres in height. It is a beautiful example of a larger bronze age cairn.
The middle cairn is just 1 metre away from a house and 15 metres north of the largest barrow. It is 25 metres in diameter and 5 metres in height. It is mostly overgrown with grass making it appear more like a barrow but some stones are visible at the top and a large crater is in the centre. Some few trees are also growing on it but the cairn is easily visible.
The northernmost cairn is the easiest visible. It is only some little moss growing on it and most of the stones are visible. It is 20 metres in diameter and around 6 metres in height. Some farm equipment is scattered around it.
