The Opferplatz von Mauren was a supposed sacrifical site in Mauren (Liechtenstein).
The finds date back to the late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age (13th - 7th centuries BC). The site is located on the edge of a former lake or moor, which is now dry. The finds may have been deliberately deposited in this area as sacrifices, as there were no traces of a settlement nearby.
