Grave mound A3000 before excavation, Rv36

3D ModelNoAI

The large grave mound was situated in a west-facing slope, and was up to 18 m across. Around the mound were the faint traces of a shallow foot ditch.

A wide and deep plundering hole in the middle with an intrusive cut stretching towards the east were easily recognisable. On the surface of the mound, particularly in the slopes, lay several large stones. The randomised positions suggested that they did not belong to any exterior construction, but were rather the result of the reopening of the grave, as the interior cairn was badly damaged.
