Barrow Cemetery in Moscow
Just one damaged mound of this two-barrow cemetery in Bitsevsky Forest in Moscow survives.
Parts of the other mound which was excavated in 1982 is barely visible.
During the archaeological excavation of the robbed barrow a couple of fragments of women's temporal rings, a crystal bead, a fragment of copper finger-ring and coffin nails were found.
