description
Ernst Friedel (1837–1918) visited Pehlitz in 1874. He reports of twelve already destroyed graves made of large, square or circular stones. These had been blown up and used to build the farm buildings of the manor. Smaller stones were gathered in piles. Friedel found some ceramic shards, which he interpreted as Bronze Age , as well as scattered corpses . When the site was inspected later, no traces of the graves could be made out.
