The Grabhügelfeld Donsbrüggen is a barrow cemetery in the Reichswald forest in Kleve-Donsbrüggen (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). The main part of the site dates from the Iron Age (ca. 800 – 550 BC). Some barrows may stem from the late Bronze Age (ca. 900 BC). Several hundreds of the barrows are supposed to be preserved. They have a diameter between 5 m and 15 m.
