Round Barrow(s) in Malopolskie
A round barrow in Krakuszowice was never excavated. This large monument is located among the fields of Krakuszowice village. According to the legend it is a tomb of Krakus Starszy, the legendary prince of pre-Christian Poland.
In the 19th century the landowner ordered to dig the mound, but no trace of burial or any artefacts was found.
