A megalithic cemetery of the Wielbark Culture in northern Poland, often called the "Polish Stonehenge." The site contains stone circles with diameters up to 26m, constructed from erratic stones reaching 1.5m in height, with central stelae. Established around the 70s-80s AD during the arrival of Goths and Gepids in Pomerania from Scandinavia, the cemetery includes over 100 cremation and skeletal burials beneath barrows. The circles served not only as burial grounds but as tribal assembly places known as "things".
