Barrow in Hubinek – site 1


sepulchral site Hubinek

Address
Hubinek

Location
woj. lubelskie, pow. tomaszowski, gm. Ulhówek

The barrow is an example of one of the few preserved prehistoric burial mounds located in Grzęda Sokalska, covering the area of the south-eastern Lublin region, arranged individually or in small clusters.

What makes it different from other mounds is its location at the top of a raised area of land and fairly good state of preservation.

Location and description

The barrow is located in the eastern part of the village of Kolonia Hubinek, approx. 350 m in a straight line to the north of its compact complex of buildings and the Kolonia Hubinek-Ulhówek road. The mound is situated at the top of a hump and forms an elevation point of 245.37 m above sea level. It is sited on a field used for agricultural purposes and in the immediate vicinity of an unpaved road. Based on the findings from these reconnaissance carried out in 1993, researchers determined that the mound had measured approx. 6 m in height and approx. 50 m in diameter (currently, it is about 3.0 m in height and the same in diameter). The burial mound has been largely levelled by ploughing; its eastern part was slightly damaged by demarcating a dirt road; only the central part is protected by a wasteland over a small area of land, where the elevation point is situated.

History

The structure dates back to prehistory. Until the 1990s, the barrow was in a good state of preservation. Currently, intensive ploughing by which almost the whole site has been affected leads to progressive degradation and poses a serious threat to the state of preservation of the structure.

Condition and results of archaeological research

The site has not been subject to excavations so far. The location and height plan of the site was drawn up by Jan Niedźwiedź and A. Medak in 1989. Surface surveys of the site within the framework of the ‘Archaeological Picture of Poland’ project were carried out by W. Mazurek and U. Kurzątkowska in 1987.

Limited access to the monument. Viewing of the barrow is only possible by arrangement with the owner of the field. The burial mound is easily visible from the unpaved road open to general public.
