Most part of the barrow cemetery is located in a fenced in grazing ground for sheeps just next to a local road. The barrows only have very short grass and are easy to see from the road despite they are not very large in size. Two barrows are inside a garden at the Tufte Nord farm.
The barrow cemetery consists of 10 round barrows. Most of them doesnt seem to have any damage at all although some can be unclear in the terrain but still visible. The size of the barrows vary from 5 to 11 metres in diameter and 30cm to 1,5 metres in height. One of the largest barrows seems to have a row of stones next to it. One of the larger barrows are almost tuching the local road and the fence goes over the barrows side.
