A barrow cemetery from the Hallstatt culture (800-450 BCE). The 16 burial mounds were discovered in 1989. Of these, 13 are still visible and 8 have been reconstructed. Each mound was dedicated to a single deceased. Only one barrow contained the remains of four dead people. The dead person was burnt on a funeral pyre, dressed in ceremonial robes and jewellery, directly on the site of the later burial mound. The bone remains were collected in an urn. The urn was placed in a wooden chamber at ground level with various other vessels and a meat offering. Earth and stones were piled up around the wooden burial chamber to form the barrow, which was surrounded by a stone ring.
