The grave mound field Friedeholz with eight burial mounds from the Bronze Age is freely accessible on the Friedeholz east of Syke in Lower Saxony. The grave field is located northeast of the TuS Syke sports field and west of the L 333 state road leading from Syke to Okel .
The eight preserved burial mounds can only be seen as part of the originally much larger burial field. Today the hills are about one meter high and 18 to 20 meters in diameter. They are badly disturbed by robbery excavations from different eras.
The necropolis was laid out in the older Bronze Age and, like other burial mound fields in Lower Saxony, also includes subsequent burials from the younger Bronze Age and the pre-Roman Iron Age . So far, however, no scientifically founded archaeological investigations have taken place in the cemetery. It is not certain whether finds such as a lance tip found in the 19th century as well as a neck and arm ring made of bronze, which are kept in the district museum Syke, come from the Friedeholz burial mound field.
