Czech archaeologists discover likely longest prehistoric mound in Europe

Czech archaeologists in the Hradec Králové area in East Bohemia have discovered what is probably the longest prehistoric mound in Europe, the Czech News Agency reported on Monday.

The mound, which was found along the route of a future motorway near the village of Dohalice, is about 190 metres in length and has a maximum width of 15 metres.

The structure is believed to come from around the fourth century BC, dating from what is known as the Funnelbeaker culture.
