The barrow cemetery is located on a flat grassy sand field next to the Strandaelvi river. The cemetery is inside a grazing field for sheeps and I couldnt get close to the barrow themselves but four of the largest barrows are easily seen from outside the fence and covered only with short grass and some few larger trees.
The largest barrow is furthest to the south of the cemetery and outside the fenced in area. It is around 16 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height. It is covered in large trees and despite beeing the largest barrow it is the least visible. In the centre of the field is another large barrow, around 15 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. It could also be a cairn but overgrown with grass. Another barrow is also easy to see from outside the field. It is around 12 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. The rest of the barrows are not possible to make out from a distance but I will be posting a LIDAR image where the barrows can be seen easier.
