Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Tumulus near Flaxweiler is locally called “Tonn” or “Tomm”, derived from the Latin tumba (= Grave). Covered with trees, it represents a prominent landmark. Excavations of the 19th century revealed an octagonal sandstone burial chamber. Unfortunately, finds were not preserved. This Tumulus is the biggest of Luxembourg: it has a diameter of around 30 m and it is 7 m high. The burial place can be possibly dated to the 2nd or 3rd century AD and it is likely related to a wealthy family whose remains are located at some 700 m from the tumulus. The tumulus is accessible from the nearby road. It is very prominent and picturesque, but no parts of the ancient burial chamber can be seen. |
