The cemetery consists of 9 barrows, six round barrows and 3 long barrows. They are oriented in two groups. One to the north west and one to the south east. The north east group have 3 beautiful round barrows. One is 12 metres in diameter and 1,7 metres in height, The next barrow is 14 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height and the third one is 13 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. This barrow seems undamaged and have a very beautiful profile. All the barrows have the typical ditch around them and all are easy to see on the right side of the footpath.
The south east group consists of three round barrows and three long barrows. The long barrows are oriented in a line from NW to SE with the narrow ends after one another. They are all of similar size, from 12-15 metres in length, 3-4 metres wide and 1-1,5 metres in height. They are paralell to the footpath and the round barrows. The round barrows in the south east part are 10, 11 and 9 metres in diameter and 1,5 to 1,8 metres in height. They are also easy to see in the terrain and have very beautiful rounded profiles and clear ditches around them.
