Round Barrow in Belgium
Bronze age round barrow, located in the northwestern corner of the cemetery. Re-discovered through aerial photography, it is now partially reconstructed (only one half slightly raised, the other part is covered by a hedge and trees), with the former ditch covered by tiles. It's used as a resting place for stillborn infants, with a modern stone marker on top and an informative plaque next to it. More barrows have been found as crop marks in the vicinity.
