Bacon Busch is the name for one of the Bronze Age derived hillside grave in Göhren on the Baltic Sea island of Ruegen .

The burial mound is located immediately to the west of the Göhren village church on a moraine knoll that was formed during the Ice Age. The stone-fortified burial mound itself has a height of 3 meters, a diameter of 15 meters and is protected as a ground monument. Its origin is assumed to be around 1000 before the beginning of the era.

The name Speckbusch goes back to the Middle Ages . The area around the tomb was more heavily forested at that time. Wood and brushwood from the forest were used to repair, speckle and peck roads. Even today the burial mound itself is lined with trees.
