Said site was on the high bank of the Ilmenau. Similar sites exist from the Ilmenau area of the neighboring Melbeck and Bienenbüttel , which are also dated to that time. It was also Lienau who began the excavation of a whole series of burial mounds that were located around the so-called Wandelfeld, the last of which were examined by Friedrich Laux in the 1970s. The oldest burial mounds date from the late Neolithic and the subsequent Bronze Age. The most famous find was the burial of a woman richly decorated with bronze jewelry, which was excavated in burial mound No. 17. It dates to the Middle Bronze Age and is around 3300 years old. This "Lady von Deutsch Evern" belongs to the so-called Lüneburg group of the older and middle Bronze Age.
