The graves were oriented in a south-north direction and were already robbed when they were discovered. In the men's grave an iron lance tip, a lance shoe, a razor and two whetstones, an incomplete iron brooch , a clay bowl, a clay bottle and some fragments that belonged to an iron sword scabbard were found as grave goods. The excavators found four bronze brooches, a finger ring, a bowl and two clay bottles in the women's grave.
