Grabhügelfeld Marienbaum submitted by Creative Commons : The Grabhügelfeld Marienbaum (also called Grabhügelfeld Uedem) is an Iron Age barrow cemetery in Xanten (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).

The Grabhügelfeld Marienbaum is an Iron Age barrow cemetery in Xanten and Uedem (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). 40 round barrows can be seen in the Marienbaum Hochwald forest. They are up to 1 m high and 20 m broad. Originally, the site might have contained 200 round barrows. The site was most likely continuous with the barrow cemetery Grabhügelfeld Kalbeck.
