Inside a fenced in area and with several information posters is a very pretty iron age barrow cemetery. The cemetery is maintained regularly and the barrows are easy to see. The barrow cemetery is overgrown only with long grass and some moss and a few birch trees.
The cemetery consists of 27 round barrows and one large long barrow. The largest barrow is in the middle of the cemetery, it is around 20 metres in diameter and around 3 metres in height and has a beautiful shape and no visible damage.
The majority of barrows, around 10 of them are between 10 and 15 metres in diameter and from 1 to 2 metres in height. Most of them also have clear ditches around them. The smaller barrows are 5 to 8 metres in diameter and though they are not very elevated from the terrain they are still visible.
The long barrow is to the south east in the cemetery It is 34 metres long, 10 metres wide and 1,5 metres in height.
Trømborg is a very pretty barrow cemetery and well worth a visit!
