Similar to today's cemeteries, tumuli were built in the Bronze and Iron Ages. There the deceased found their final resting place.
Tumuli were often placed near the living. Glaisin, too, can point to such a mound grave, which dates back to the Bronze Age - about 2200 to 800 BC. Since Bronze Age settlements are long gone, mounds for the dead are now among the most important witnesses to prehistory. Almost all knowledge about the Bronze Age results from the study of these burial sites.
The burial mound is located in a field a bit off the paved road between Glaisin and Menkendorf. It can be seen from a distance, but in summer it is difficult to reach the top of the mound, as grain fields surround it.
