Barrow Cemetery which includes the biggest mound of Holland. This one has a diameter of 40 metres. This area carries lots of mystic stories featuring witches and gnomes!
There's a story which tells that this hill was the home of many gnomes who came out at night to work for the people but they weren't allowed to be seen. When a farmer peered through a keyhole they poked his eye out.
The king of this gnomes was called Kyrië and he got a statue in the Valensplein (square) in Hoogeloon.
Note: One of our new contributors, shunt, has been busy searching out many ancient barrow cemeteries in Belgium and Holland which he has photographed for us.
