The site consists of two large round barrows. The largest is called "Revhaugen". It is inside a tight forest surrounded by flat fields. The barrow is overgrown with large trees and can be difficult to make out from the road. It is 18 metres in diameter and 2,5 metres in height.
The other barrow is a part of a private yard. It is around 100 metres west of the Revhaugen barrow. It is covered only with short grass and one giant old oak tree. Right south of the barrow is a red garage building. The barrow is 19 metres in diameter and 3 metres in height. It has a beautiful shape and doesnt seem to be having any damage.
