description

There are only more detailed descriptions of the hill fillings. There is a larger sand hill with a diameter of 20 m and a height of 2 m and two smaller hills with diameters between 6 m and 9 m and heights of 0.5 m each. The larger hill shows traces of an old excavation. No information is available about the dimensions, orientation and type of the burial chambers. A stone slab about 1 m long was found west of the larger hill. Due to their size, the graves are more likely to be referred to as large stone graves and not as stone boxes. Since no finds are known, the cultural allocation of the facilities is uncertain.
