In 1978 the local municipalities wanted to clear some ploughed-down tumuli in order to develop an industrial area. The local museum, which specialises in archaeology, was asked to supervise an excavation of what proved to be the unique late Neolithic Wheel-Grave, one of a kind in Denmark. The wheel-grave is named after the stone circle that formed the base of the inner barrow. More than 4.000 years ago, it was built directly on the surface of the field as a stone circle with a diameter of 9-10 m. From the stone circle five stone-rows (one of them double) radiates like spokes from a hub.
