Barrows A and E are almost completely mutilated. Barrow B is located right from the footpath (walking from Winchester) and is 2 m high. Barrow C has remains of a robber trench in it's top part, but is still very obvious. Barrow D is the largest one, it is 2,5 m high and has partly preserved quarry ditch.
Area of the barrow cemetery is protected as Magdalen Hill Down Nature Reserve with many rare species of butterflies.
