The barrows date from the early Iron Age. Many of them exhibit a crater at their top, which most likely stems from grave robbers. This fits with reports from the 18th and 19th century, where the prevailing grave robbery caused the baronal Fürstlich Lippische Regierung to ban these actions in 1821.
Today, several grave mounds are still visible.
