There are orthostats still visible and two capstones both with cup marks on them - 21 on the southern one and 9 on the northern one. Tilley (see references below) calls this site and its nearby twin "Valstad Klockaregården Passage Graves". Valstad 8:1 is visible 250 metres away towards the southwest. To reach the site drive east from Falköping on highway 193 and turn south at Folkabo. Drive south through the village towards Bäck. 1 kilometres south of the village the site is 125 metres into a field on the west (right) side of the lane.
