A natural rise in the ground was chosen as the site on which it was to be created, so that the tumulus would be visible from far. It is 60 metres in diameter and has a height of 7.5 metres. It was built to preserve in time the memory of four members of a wealthy family of land owners who died and were buried one after the other.
