Despite limited damage as a result of a trackway being cut through part of the alignments, the triple stone alignment and cairn 780m east of Cawsand Beacon survive comparatively well, contain archaeological and environmental information and lie between a number of broadly contemporary funerary monuments and extensive field systems containing settlements.
This monument includes a triple stone alignment, a cairn and short length of hollow way situated on a gently sloping natural shelf on the eastern side of Cawsand Hill
The stone alignment, known locally as The Cemetery or The Graveyard, is orientated from WNW to ESE and includes a 138m long, triple row of at least 118 stones whose heights gradually increase uphill towards the cairn. The tallest stones stand up to 1m high, whilst many of those at the eastern end protrude only a short height above the ground.
