Remains of a circular enclosure surrounding a bronze age barrow and traces of bronze age settlement have been discovered during roadworks in 2013. Examined by local archaelogy and county (Landschaftverband).

The barrow has been largely destroyed probably in historic hence the examinations revealed no grave goods or other traces of the burials.
