Several round barrows have been preserved in the part of the Duisburger Stadtwald forest named In der Monning. One of the barrows is marked with an information panel.
Originally, the barrow cemetery In der Monning must have contained several hundreds of graves. It can be regarded as a sub-cemetery of the much larger Wedau cemetery.
