Colombier Round Tomb
Colombier Round Tomb submitted by Megalithic89 : Site in Neuenburg Switzerland Photo taken August 2023. (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of three graves discovered in 2013 in the village of Colombier during the demolition of a restaurant to build a service station in Neuenburg. The largest of the three contained the remains of a man over 30 and a bronze pin dating to around 1600 BC. The second burial contained a woman from around 1300 BC with several bronze grave goods. The third was a small cremation grave.

Discovery site: 46.97012, 6.8698

The largest of the burials was moved to the park of the Latenium museum. The mound next to it is a reconstruction of what the burial would have looked like, and is not a prehistoric monument.

In 1876 the Auvernier Dolmen with 20 inhumations was found very close to three graves found in 2013.
