Large mound placed inside the churchyard/cemetery. Part of the mound has been modified. On the flattened top some stones are placed - from the pictures in the official description it isn't possible to determine if these are from an ancient tomb, or if it - more likely - is a collection of expired headstones from our time, a so-called Lapidarium.
