Artificial Mound in Aargau
The complex was built in the Bronze Age after 1500 BC. Over time, however, it fell into oblivion. Towards the end of the Hallstatt period around 500 BC, the dead were buried again.
One burial mound is laid out with a stone wreath with vertically placed stone slabs. Tomb 4 is square; two raised stones indicate the "entrance". Two burial grounds can be seen in a hint.
