The four hills were built in the Middle Bronze Age (after 1500 BC). Over time, they fell into oblivion. It was only towards the end of the early Iron Age (Hallstatt period) that around 500 BC A woman and a girl are buried again.

After the archaeological excavations of 1932, the rectangular structures in hills 3 and 4 were interpreted as houses of the dead. From today's perspective, however, these are bronze age grave borders. The stone structures of the other two hills are also typical of the Bronze Age.

Almost all objects found come from the graves in hill 1 and date them to the end of the early Iron Age. Bronze Age arm rings were only discovered in hill 3.
