This burial site consists of about 10 small mounds, about 20 flat ground burrows without any markings at all, 2 low stone rings and two square-shaped stone settings. there is also one standing stone (about 1.20m tall) on top of a flat grave.
Even if some of the graves dont look impressive, a lot of grave-goods have been found, especially one of an old woman had a impressive amount of grave goods. Another grave consisted of a man`s skeleton, but the only goods was a huge and strange iron collar.
A very interesting site, with many different burial techniques and a nice view of the sea and a lot of small Islands.
