Earth mound from 1.50 to 2.00 m high, somewhat disturbed by excavations.
10 m from barrows SW-end a hole straight to the hill bottom, about 7-8 m wide.

Only a small number of kerb stones survived, most of them hidden
and covered with earth.

A Round Barrow with almost complete kerb stones, three Long Barrows;
one of these with a lot of still visible kerb stones and an astounding length of
115 meters, a beautiful and well preserved passage grave, plus one of those
danish 'Jættestue' that you can explore from inside the chamber.
