Most of the five burial mounds are heavily overgrown and difficult to see in the terrain. Most have large craters on the top, but one of the loops has an open stone box made of large slabs. It is believed to date from the Bronze Age . The loops vary in size between 8 and 12 meters in diameter and in height from 1.0 to 1.5 meters.
At the beginning of the footpath that leads to the Cairns , the remains of three nausts (boat houses) have been preserved as foundation walls in the small bay . They are 10 to 20 meters long, but are difficult to see in tall grass.
In the vicinity of the Rösen there are several outcrops with rock carvings . Small bowls about 5–8 cm in diameter and 1 to 3 cm deep and vessels are shown.
