Among other items, a life size limestone statue of a warrior with an unusual helmet was found inside. Copies of the statue and documentation are in the nearby Glauburg museum. There are indications the original is the Frankfurt Museum.
The Tumulus is surounded by ditches which may have been processional paths. The statues were found buried in the ditch. The henge like ditches lead on to make comparisons with Tara in Ireland.
