Grafheuvels Hoogeindse Bergen
Grafheuvels Hoogeindse Bergen submitted by shunt : The Hoogeindse Bergen site in Weelde, Belgium contains 4 mounds. We found two of them because there were too much horseflies spoiling the fun. This mound has a ditch on top of it and it looks like it's two mounds in one! (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Belgium. This site contains 4 mounds. The first one you'll see is mound #2, this one is about 1.5 metres high and has poles on top of it. There's also a ditch on top, so it looks like this one is two mounds in each other.

Mound #1 is hidden behind #2 and you'll have to stand thistles and things like that to reach it.
We didn't find the numbers 3 and 4, we gave up because there were too much horseflies spoiling the fun.
Also, to reach the site itself you have to follow a forest path on which you're in fact not allowed to go.
