According to old folk tales another alleged burial mound of the mythological hero Čestmír AKA Tyr (for the details see the Krliš Barrow). In fact an early La Tene burial mound used to be here. The site was archaeologically excavated in 20´s of a last century but is now pretty much destroyed as a reason of a stone quarrying. Only the small stone obelisk commemorates the ancient history..
