A barrow or burial mound (Latin tumulus, plural tumuli; Greek τύμβος tymbos) is an elongated, round or oval pile of earth. Inside there are tombs or other prehistoric monuments. The graves can be body burials (possibly in a tree coffin), urn graves or scattered corpse burns. The mounds can have built-in components, e.g. B. from concentric circles, buildings (burial mounds of Trappendal), stone burial chambers or stone boxes.

⚰️ A silent witness to the past: This moss-covered burial mound dates back to around 400 BC – presumably of Celtic origin. The small plaque seems almost inconspicuous, but if you look closely, you'll sense the specialness of this place. Mystical. Timeless. Touching.

📍 Tip: 🪨 Slow down a few steps here – this place has more depth than meets the eye.
