At a natural flat hill overlooking the sea and to the north of the local road are three standing stones. The hill is overgrown with small juniper trees and grass at waist height so moving around in this field can be challenging! All three stones are easily visible.
The largest standing stone is shaped as a large slab. It is 2 metres in height and around 1,20 metres wide and 10-15cm thick. It has a rounded top and have the flat side towards the sea. It has previously fallen down but reconstructed in the early 1900s.
The second standing stone is located around 17 metres ENE from the largest stone, it is 1,65metres in height and around 1,20metres wide and 10cm thick. The top of this stone is shaped like a triangular point.
The third stone is difficult to see in the high juniper vegetation. It is only 60cm in height and around 10 cm widde. It seems to have been broken off at some point.
Furthest to the west is a round barrow around 10 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height and with a big crater in the centre. This barrow is so overgrown with vegetation it is very difficult to get a image of it.
