Remains of three tumuli are still to be found, known as A, B and C.
Tumulus A, of which the most remains to be seen, is f quadrangular shape, width about 24m. The tumulus contains 4 dolmenic chambers, which open through passageways to the south.
The second and third cairns lie to the south west of the first, but much less remains to be seen of them today.
Many items were found here, much of which can be seen today in the museum at Bougon.
