I found out about this ancient site when I used Google Earth when I was searching for something else. I saw a street called 'Urnenveldstraat'. "Urnenveld" means Urn Field, so I thought there had to be something there.
There's a park near this site where a sign post shows various paths and one went around the urn field.
Unfortunately it's hard to reach and its condition isn't very good.
