The circular burial mound measures 60 meters in diameter and reaches a height of 7.5 meters, featuring two distinct burial chambers within its structure.

Oscar Fraas conducted excavations in 1879, discovering an untouched side chamber containing valuable artifacts while the main chamber had been previously plundered during medieval times.

The burial site contained Greek ceramic kylikes, bronze vessels, and gold drinking horns, indicating strong trade connections between Celtic communities and Mediterranean civilizations.

The archaeological site stands north of Hohenasperg hill in Baden-Württemberg, requiring careful navigation as the terrain presents accessibility limitations for visitors.

The secondary chamber, measuring 2 by 3 meters, preserved a collection of artifacts from the late 5th century BCE without any interference from grave robbers.
