At the time of visit, only one mound - Sandyhall 1 - (HY 39860 19510) was visible and was recorded as in a vulnerable condition as the surface is broken. It measures 15.0m in diameter and 1.8m in height. It is visible to the W and SW and for 500m-1km on the skyline to the N.

Sandyhall 2: Diameter 10.0m. Height 0.15m. Not as large or prominent as 1. Visible to SW and S.

Sandyhall 3: This mound is more apparent than 2, as it is close to a small building which has given it protection. It measures 12.5m by 13.0m and is 0.3m in height. Not as large or prominent as 1. Visible to SW and S.
