Megalithic tomb

Tomb of the Neolithic funnel beaker culture (about 3400 - 2800 BC). Preserved is the western part of the burial chamber (18.5 x 2.5m) originally under a mound with cap stones, supporting stones, an entrance on the south side, paving and dry stone walling between the boulders.

Excavations 1956/1958 yielded a rich find material as gifts for the dead. The megalithic tombs were funeral homes for several generations of a settlement community. The tomb stands as a monument under legal protection.
