In 1941 a 10 × 20 m area, part of a small boiler bog, was excavated there. Found ceramic , animal bones and a comb from Hirschhorn. The broken pieces came from 114 clay pots. Holes had been punched in the bottoms of most of the vessels and animal bones or stones had been placed. The bones come from at least eleven dogs, about eleven sheep, and some cattle and horses. Except for the dogs, of which several skulls had been preserved, most of the bones were badly broken.
