Inside a small private garden is a row of four standing stones. The house was the earlier railway station and the road going next to the house is where the old railway once went. The garden has short cut lawn grass and a steel fence surrounds the site. The stones are easy to find as the local highway pass only a few metres from the site.
All the stones have the shape of standing slabs and the row is aligned from west-north-west to east-south-east. The first stone to the WNW is 1,32 metres in height, 95cm wide and 35cm thick. It has a flat but slightly tilted top. Stone number two is 1,40metres in height, 85cm wide and 30cm thick. The stone number three is 1,30metres in height, 85cm wide and 30cm thick and stone number 4 is 1,40metres in height, 45cm wide and 25 cm thick. The last stone is the slimmest of the stones. The stones are only from 20-30cm in distance from each other.
