These mounds were visted during the course of the Orkney Barrows Project. Three mounds were recorded. The fourth, reported by the OS in 1966, could not be located but may be one of the previously recorded mounds in the vicinity (HY31NW 8 or HY 31NW 9).
The mounds in this group form a dispersed linear cemetery, with one outlier. The mounds are close to the newly-discovered stalled cairn and standing stone.
