The largest burial cairn is around 11 metres in diameter and about 1,5 metres in height. It has a deep crater in it. It is overgrown with grass and moss and appear more as a barrow than a cairn.
The other two cairns visible are around 8-9 metres in diameter and around 0,5 metres in height. They are also easily visible.
There was also several more burial cairns in the area but many have been plowed over and removed in later years.
