Artificial Mound in Limburg. The "Heksenberg" or in English "Witchesmountain" is an articfial mound in the woods called Donderslag, (which means Thunderclap) in Meeuwen in the province of Limburg in Belgium.
It dates from 1700-1100 BC. I found out about it by reading information on some website and I knew the area so I went looking for it and found it. I didn't know where to search but it was on the first path I chose. I was told the Heksenberg was encircled by wooden poles but as you can see, it isn't.
