The Grabhügelfeld Diersfordt is a barrow cemetery in the Diersfordt forest in Wesel (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). The site was used from the late Bronze Age (ca. 900/800 BC) to the Iron Age (ca. 700 – 400 BC). 126 round barrows with a diameter between 5 m and 30 m were analyzed during the excavations in 1922 and 1961.
Today, the area with the remaining barrows is closed to the public and cannot be accessed.
