The cemeteries largest barrow is furthest to the south, it is 22 metres in diameter and around 3 metres in height. It has a very nice rounded shape and doesnt seem to have any damage. This large barrow is surrounded by a cluster of smaller barrows, they are around 8-11 metres in diameter and 1 to 1,5 metres in height. Even overgrown with larger trees they are still easy to make out and some of them have clear ditches around them.
In the centre of the cemetery there are a group of three medium sized barrows, they are 11-12 metres in diameter, some of them can be more difficult to see because this part have more smaller trees.
The north part of the cemetery have a group of four larger barrows, once is around 18 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height, th others are a little smaller and one has a very deep crater on top making it look more like a ring of earth. The rest of the barrows are smaller, 6 to 8 metres in diameter and low in the terrain and is more difficult to see.
