More than 20 little and medium sized tumuli are located just east of the small village of Groß Meckelsen in the "Häsenheide" forest. Many of them were looted in the 19th century by a merchant named Hoyns and an organist named Rosebrock from Sittensen. Many of these grave-robber-finds are in museums in Stade and Worpswede today.

Many of the tumuli are in poor condition due to the economic use of the forest and lack of maintenance.

The information about the grave robbers and the location can be found in this book:
Tempel, Wolf-Dieter (1999): Auf ur- und frühgeschichtlichen Spuren durch den Landkreis Rotenburg, Wegweiser zur Vor- und Frühgeschichte Niedersachsen - Heft 22, Oldenburg p. 88
