The largest cairns are easy to find though the smaller ones are hard to find in the tight forest vegetation.
The largest cairn is 20 metres in diameter and around 2 metres in height. It has a nice shape though it is so overgrown with smaller plants it appears more like a barrow than a cairn. The two medium sized are around 12 metres in diameter and 1-1,5m in height. The smaller cairns were impossible to find.
