One of the better-preserved cairns, possibly a small ring cairn.

Another of the cairns. This one has a couple of small slabs (one in foreground) and a single upright orthostat (in the reedy grass) presumably part of the remains of a kerb.

The first cairn I came across in the group, a small clearance effort by the look of it.

Not labelled on the OS Explorer (1:25000), although three mounds are shown. Coflein description from 2002:

A group of sixteen cairns, including three possible ring cairns and three exhibiting evidence of kerbing, which are considered to be ritual cairns, the remainder are thought to be clearance features, however these two catagories of cairn should not be expected to be mutually exclusive.
