The remains of two large round cairns and 50 burial urns are hidden in the little forest above Mlýnský pond. First discovered allegedly in 1880 but serious research was carried out gradually from 1929 till 1958. Unfortunately all the site suffered much during sand mining at the beginning of the 20th century. Archaeological finds include a bronze ring fragment, jewellery, a bronze bracelet, part of a spiral, a bronze bolt and many fragments of pottery.
To the great surprise of the archaeologists, a settlement was found in the close vicinity of the necropolis, which is very unsual.
