The barrow cemetery at Erstadenget once contained a number of round barrows with stone circles around them and also burial cairns and circular stone settings. Sadly most of the monuments have been lost to farming and road construction in later years except from one round cairn. The rest is located inside a very tight leaf tree forest and although looking trough it it was not possible to find any remains of the burials.
The southernmost burial cairn is the only one visible today located in a small open grassy field. It is clearly marked although it is overgrown with grass and looks more like a barrow than a cairn. It is around 11 metres in diameter and 1,5 metres in height. From the road passing north of the field there is a beautiful view over the valley to the south-east.
