A burial mound, often also called a tumulus, is a raised earth or stone structure used as a burial ground in prehistoric times. These mounds are of great archaeological importance because they provide insight into the burial rituals, social structures, and living conditions of past communities.

Many burial mounds have been preserved as monumental landscape elements and are protected for their historical value. Archaeological excavations can reveal artifacts such as ceramics, weapons, jewelry, and human remains that tell the story of the area's inhabitants.

A burial mound as an archaeological monument offers not only scientific knowledge but also a place of reflection and historical awareness, often surrounded by nature, allowing visitors to experience the past in a serene setting.
