Artificial Mound in Freiburg. Tumulus built during Late Hallstatt period. Examined in 1983 by archaeologist, found in 1962 and forgotten for a good while. Diameter 80 metres, 10 metres high.



The tumulus must belong to the Hallstatt period settlement of Chatillon-sur-Glane nearby. Several smaller tumuli have been found in the region (Bois de Murat, Bois de Chatillon, Daillettes, Au Port, Foret de Belle-Croix. )

From Moncor tumulus, they had a perfect view to Chatillon-sur-Glane settlement, direction S-E, 110 m lower in altitude.

The archaeologists of Canton of Fribourg found out that Moncor tumulus is 1,75 km away from Chatillon-sur-Glane settlement. Robank Fürstengrabhügel near Wetzikon is also 1,75 km away from a hillfort settlement (Heidenburg near Aathal at 47.33847N, 8.75947E).
