The grave field of about three hectares extends east of the settlement on a natural hill. It was later covered by dunes. In addition to some prehistoric graves, there are mainly early medieval grave forms from the 8th to 10th centuries. From 1965 to 1969, ship-shaped stone settlements were examined, which until then were only known from Denmark and Sweden. In addition, wooden ship parts with iron rivets were used for burials.

The graves contained cremations. Slavic pottery of the Feldberger type and Scandinavian costume jewelry were found as grave goods. An Anglo-Irish buckle and Sassanid-Persian imports complete the spectrum of far-reaching contacts. Grave shapes and burial of the dead show that indigenous Slavs and Scandinavians were buried here.
