Erlach forest in Zirndorf (Bavaria, Germany) contains several round barrows. A few are still visible as small mounds, like e.g. the one, that is called “Hünengrab“ by the people of the city district Weinzierlein.
The round barrows are not well examined. Based on the discoveries of several artefacts in the wider surrounding, it has been speculated, that the round barrows my have been built ca. 1000 BC.
