At this point, reference is made to many barrows in the area. The barrows date from the Iron and Roman times.

On the 440 m high Bannholz, protected from agriculture by a forest, there are over 100 easily recognizable burial mounds from the Hunsrück-Eifel culture (Iron Age, late Hallstatt period).
regionalgeschichte.net/hunsrueck/hecken/kulturdenkmaeler/grabhuegelfelder.html

While 2500 years ago the burial mounds were in the open area and visible to everyone on the 440m high hilltop, today the entire area is overgrown with spruce monocultures. Everywhere you can see the large and small burial mounds, whereby I liked the group of burial mounds in the western part best, because in addition to the mounds, the surrounding ditches and ramparts can still be seen very well, so-called burial gardens.
