This burial mound dates from about 1400 BC. Special finds have been made in this burial mound, including gold earrings, a bronze ax and bronze arrowheads. This makes it one of the 'richest' burial mounds in Drenthe. Because of these finds, it is said that this man must have had a unique position, which is why it is also referred to as the 'chieftain of the Sleenerzand'.

It is still known today as the Gallows Mountain. hunebednieuwscafe.nl/2017/12/sleenerzand-archeologisch-openluchtmuseum
