The megalithic graves
No. 4 (Steden 1; Sprockhoff No. 627) is a disturbed chamber in the round hill. Three of its four capstones fell between the six supporting stones on the side. A closing stone is missing.
. # 7 (Cities 2;. Sprockhoff # 628) is an excavated in 1975 and restored passage grave . The eight supporting stones and two end stones form a chamber space of 6 × 1.5 m. All capstones in the chamber are missing. The short corridor, covered with a large stone, of which four are still three supporting stones, lies roughly in the middle of the south side. The finds made here consisted of piles of bones, arrowheads , jewelry and broken deep- engraved ceramics as well as urns from the 1st century BC. The facility of the funnel beaker culture (3900–2800 BC) was also used by the bearers of the subsequent ceramic cord culture. In front of the sloping corridor there were broken pieces and evidence of fire places.
