Long Barrow in Kujawsko-pomorskie, Poland. Part of a very well-preserved Neolithic cemetery of “Grobowce kujawskie” (Cuiavian long barrows) located in a forest near village of Sarnowo. The long barrows are trapezium-shaped, with the largest stones located at the fronts. Their length is 50 to 80 m with a height of up to 1,6 m.
Eight long barrows still survive - see the nearby site list below. Their excavations in 1950-1951 and 1966-1971 unearthed burials of Funnel Beaker Culture. Among rich grave goods there was pottery, flintwork and amber ornaments. Not far from here a non-megalithic Neolithic cemetery with inhumation burials has been discovered. The site in Sarnowo is the second best preserved group of Cuiavian long barrows in Poland (behind the cemetery in Wietrzychowice).
