The longhouse today is easily visible with clear and thick walls visible as elongated paralell hills. The centre of one of the walls is broken indicating a clear entrance to the housing. The longhouse is 32 metres long, 7,5 metres wide and the walls are around 30-60 cm high from the ground and only covered in moss, making them easy to see. A small fence has been built around the longhouse to protect it. Several small burial cairns are found around 500 metres to the north closer to the shore but they are very small and overgrown and difficult to see.
