The site consists of a beautiful stone circle and a round barrow. They are located just outside a grain field just at the edge of a large forest. A small shed in just north of the barrow. The site only has small grass and some small bush so the site is easy to find.
The stone circle consists of 8 large round boulders connected with lines of smaller stones between them in ground height. The smaller stones between the larger ones can not be seen under the moss but the stones can be felt under the vegetation. Six of the stones are still standing upright while 2 have fallen over. The stones vary from 60cm to 1,3 metres in height. The stones vary from 90 to 1,2 metres wide and thick. The distance between the stones are around 4 metres and the stone circle has a diameter of around 11 metres. The stones are easy to see in the low vegetation. The owner of the farm said that a much larger stone once was in the centre of the circle but have later been removed.
10 metres north of the stone circle is a very pretty round barrow. The barrow has a ditch dug into the side but it still has a very pretty profile. The barrow is 20 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height.
