This 'tum', as it is called by the inhabitants, is not a Roman tumulus but a well-preserved medieval moth mound. This hill was raised by the local population as protection in turbulent times.

Hiking

The Motheuvel or Toem is an artificial hill, probably from the 15th century, located on the Peperstraat in Millen. The hill is 7 meters high and has a diameter at the base of 36 meters. It is surrounded by a 7 meter wide moat. Remains of mortar and brick have been found on the hill, indicating that a building, possibly a keep, once stood there.
