The barrow cemetery consists of around 20 barrows and cairns, 7 oval to elongated shaped and 13 round barrows and burial cairns. There are also clearance cairns and one cup marked stone at the site. The round barrows are from 6 to 10 metres in diameter and 0,5 to 1,5 metres in height. The long barrows are from 12-20 metres in diameter and 4-6 metres wide. All the barrows are easy to find and some have clear ditches around the edges. The barrows don't seem to have been damaged and all have very clear and nice shapes.
There is a footpath going through the site and there is a information poster in the middle of the site.
