Huthügel

The mound lies 1.3 km east-south-east of Kalbsrieth, on raised ground directly beside a field track. Another burial mound, the Derfflinger Hügel, lies 800 m to the south; it was used for burial over several millennia, including by members of the Corded Ware culture. Further Corded Ware burials have been found in at least five places in the surrounding area, and single finds come from several locations in the parish.

The ground beneath the mound consists of humus mixed with sand and limestone, with a layer of gravel beginning at about 40 cm depth. The mound fill is made of the same material as the surrounding soil, and a darker layer runs between the natural soil and the fill.

In the course of the land consolidation (Separation) of the 19th century the edges of the mound were cut back, except on the south side, so that it now has a roughly square outline 27 m long and 26.15 m wide. The amount of material removed is thought to have been small, and the original diameter of the once round mound probably did not greatly exceed its present dimensions. The mound is now 2.55 m high, and its surface is very uneven. Möller found no larger disturbance, apart from a possible secondary burial and the hut.
