Boshoverheide Grafheuvels is a very large barrow cemetery in Weert, in the province Limburg.
At least 130 mounds can be found here, unfortunately they're all overgrown with grass.
There's an asphalt path around the site and a few poles give information about the certain area.
The mounds date from 1100 to 700 BC.
Some were examined and the things found are being kept in Tiendschuur, the museum.
On this website you can see a picture where you can see the mounds much better.
There was another barrow cemetry in Weert called Kamperhoek but this one has dissapeared, it's an industrial zone now. Pity!
