Tips

A “pest grove”, also known as “krengenbosje”, “rest grove”, “livestock grove” or “cow grove”, is a grove where in ancient times livestock were buried that had died of a contagious disease such as cattle plague or anthrax.

These cemeteries were located as far as possible from the farm and were surrounded by a (ring) ditch to prevent further spread of the disease as much as possible. Shrubs and trees were also planted on them to indicate that they should be avoided.

You only come across pest groves on meadows where no land consolidation or other land redevelopment took place.
