These barrows are just west of Setta barrow and the Five barrows group. They run south to north on the top of a west facing ridge.
Apparently there are four in the group, but I could only see three. The southern one has a group of low stones in its centre. Not sure wether these are the remains of a burial chamber or cist. The central barrow appears relatively undamaged and is a medium sized bowl type. The north on is low and appears to have been damaged at some stage.
