This is a link to a site with a picture (site is in finnish). Sammallahdenmäki is a geographic name, "kirkonlaattia" (floor of a church) and "Huilun pitkä raunio" (long mound of Huilu) are names given by local people to the mounds (the names reveal that the people have lost the meaning of these mounds).
There are also other mounds and rock circles (for sitting) in the area. It is said someplaces (for example in the above website) that the mounds are burial sites but other sources say that no bones or such have not been found at least in some mounds. Therefore the reason, exact time, why the mounds have been built, and who built them is at least partly a mystery.
