From the fourth millennium BC, the remains of a stone tomb of the Neolithic period, but which is now completely destroyed originates. In the district of the village also quite a number of grave hills of Stone and Bronze Ages have been preserved. Impressive are the copies at the sports ground of the village. This group of grave mounds originally consisted of at least a dozen copies. With the expansion of the sports field in 1950 three of them excavated ( Dig Museum Lüneburg ), another in 1978 archaeologically investigated. The oldest burial dates from the late Neolithic period ( around 2000 BC ), other finds include in the subsequent Bronze Age; inter alia, a spearhead and the remnant of a bronze sword ( around 1800 BC). The transition from the Late Bronze Age and the early Iron Age date, a number of urns ( about 800 BC ). In the immediate and wider environment more finds have been discovered, whose dating validates the entire temporal spectrum of this group of monuments and demonstrating that it must still have been far more extensive once.
