Keltengräber Zollikon, Celtic burial site in Feufbühl, Zollikon, Switzerland

The Celtic burial mounds at Feufbühl contain five burial sites located at an elevation of 636 meters in the forested hills of Zollikerberg.

During excavations in 1862, archaeologist Ferdinand Keller discovered a cremation burial containing pottery arrangements and a subsequent inhumation grave from 650 BCE.

The burial site reveals Celtic funeral practices where the deceased were placed in decorated urns surrounded by storage vessels within stone circles.

The original artifacts from the Celtic graves are displayed at the Swiss National Museum, while replicas can be viewed at the Local Museum of Zollikon.

Seven fire sites and small menhirs were discovered between the burial mounds, indicating ritual practices performed during Celtic funeral ceremonies.
