'A' is a mound 22.0m in diameter and 2.0m high.
'B' is 23.0m in diameter and 1.2m high.
'C' is 16.0m in diameter and 1.0m high.
All three are overgrown and planted with trees, but minor mutilations suggest a high content of earth with some stone, and they should be classed as barrows rather than cairns.
