Reconstructed tumulus, to reproduce what it might have been when originally constructed ca. 150 AD.
This tumulus is the south-westernmost one of the region. The majority of the tumuli are concentrated in Limburg (both the Belgian province of Limburg and the Dutch province of the same name), they all have been kept as they have come down to us.
