The barrow cemetery consists of 13 round barrows. The cemetery is oriented in a semi circle from east to west along the edge of a natural plateau overlooking the river valley to the north and north east. Several barrows have been damaged by nearby houses and roads to these. Only the west part of the cemetery had a little less vegetation and the barrows here could easily be found though they are also overgrown with smaller and larger trees and moss.
The three largest barrows are 17-20 metres in diameter and 1 to 1,75 metres in height. The two largest barrows have craters dug into the top and have ditches around them. The barrows are relatively low compared to the diameter. The rest of the barrows are 6-9 metres in diameter. Between the houses there is a footpath that goes trough the west part of the cemetery. When one of the nearby houses was built it was found a flat ground burial with burned human bones but no artifacts.
