Barrow cemetery in Moscow, Russia.
A four-mound cemetery of XI-XIII century in Bitsevsky Forest, the second largest nature park in Moscow. Barrows are 0.5-1.4m in height and 10-20m in diameter encircled with ditches. All of them are damaged.
Despite the site description with its approximate location was published in the Culture of Medieval Moscow book (ISBN 5-02-010238-5) this burial ground was rather difficult to find without knowing where exactly to look for it in the enormous park.
