Grafheuvel en Urnenveld Bennekom (45414) submitted by Uralsdaughter on 31st Aug 2018. Translation of the sign:
Prehistoric burial grounds/cemetery. This prehistoric barrow is over 4000 years old en was build in 3 phases. The first hill was made by people from the Bell-beaker culture. Only an imprint of the deceased was visible in the sand.
A small earthenware cup, seven flint arrowheads, two flint knives and a stone wristprotector were found in the shallow grave. The hill was raised twice more in the bronze age, after someone was buried again in the centre.
