Description
A burial mound is a hill, raised with moors, turf or clay shells, above the grave of a deceased. The construction of such funerary monuments has a long tradition, from the late Neolithic period (ca. 2900 BC) to Roman times.
The ‘grave mounds’ database includes around 3000 hills. These are mostly surveyed hill bodies, located on areas that are legally protected. The map offers a dynamic image, because new burial mounds are regularly discovered. In particular, studying the Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland yields still unknown hills in the landscape. Whether these are actually earthen hills that have been erected in the past (and not shifting hills) can be determined by means of a field test.
