The site consists of three small round barrows and one standing stone. The stone is located in a small garden next to a camping site and inside a horse fence. The barrows are called Hundehaugane from the word hund (dog) from a local tale about a dog being buried here.
The smaller round barrows are very difficult to see because they are covered in high grass and some smaller trees. The standing stone is located next to a pine tree. It is on top of a small hill that could possibly be another smaller barrow.
The stone is around 1,80 metres in height, 30cm wide and around 20cm thick. It is tilting slightly to one side.
