There are two megalithic tombs here. North of the Tipkenhoog from the Bronze Age, excavated in 1873, heavily damaged during World War II and restored as a burial mound from 1944 onwards. South of it lies the older Harhoog from the Neolithic period. This megalithic tomb was originally also covered by a mound, which was about 32 m long. However, this tomb was only relocated here in 1954; it was originally located on the current airfield. Funnel beakers and cups made of pottery as well as flint blades were found in the tomb.
