Barrow Cemetery in Pomorskie

This barrow cemetery is located near the village of Dunajki, but in archaeological sources it is known as "Główczewice site 2", after the village located 4km to the south. On the basis of current excavations we know that the cemetery included three round barrows and several cist burials of the Lusatian culture (Bronze Age).

Round barrow no. 1 was located on the western side of the road - it had 10m in diameter and distinguishable layer of stones, most of which was robbed for building material.

Round barrow no. 2 was located on the eastern side of the road. Its base was surrounded with a stone kerb, its diameter was 11m and height 1.5m. The excavations unearthed pieces of small Bronze Age amphora and vase.

Round barrow no. 3 is located 200m north of previous ones and its remains are visible till nowadays. It has not been excavated yet.
