The tumuli are located directly between the villages of Taaken and Reeßum. To the north and east of the small bog 'Schlippenmoor' inside the forest you can find around 20 smaller tumuli. During excavations, urns from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age were found. It can be assumed that the bog was even larger during the Bronze Age and that a nearby settlement existed.
Today the bog is a nature reserve. However, there is a green-waste-collection-point nearby and the forest is used by the locals as a pet cemetery (many tombstones with animal names can be found around the tumuli). Most of the tumuli are in poor condition and have been badly affected by the weather and the re-paludification of the area.
The small tumulus seen here on the photos has the ID: 28972457 in the Lower Saxony Monument Atlas. The coordinates for this site are also attributed to this tumulus.
