Mohyla v Chotouni, Ancient burial mound in Chrášťany, Czech Republic
The bell-shaped tumulus stands three meters high on a flat-topped hill called Homole above the village of Chotouň in the Kolín district.
Excavations conducted by Václav Krolmus between 1855 and 1859 at the burial mound revealed no significant artifacts, leading to speculation about its original purpose.
Local traditions connect the mound to Saint Prokop through tales of him harnessing an evil spirit and bringing it to Chotouň, creating this earthen structure.
Visitors can locate the monument using its coordinates at latitude 50.066 and longitude 14.9625, with an information board providing details about Čertova brázda.
The mound's position along Čertova brázda suggests it functioned as a navigation marker for carts traveling from Nymburk to the Sázava river crossing.
