Pestruper Gräberfeld

Megalithic Cemetery

Fieldnotes

Strictly speaking, the Pestrup Burial Ground is not a megalithic site, but the largest bronze and iron age necropolis in northern Central Europe. The burial ground is part of the street of megalithic culture and is located about 2.5 km south-southeast of the Wildeshauser center and about 1 km west of the Hunte. The area is a natural and historical protected heath area of the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park of about 35 ha (about 86 acres) with more than 530 larger and smaller Bronze and Iron Age burial mounds.
