Tumulus I at Pielgrzymowow was explored by Dietrich Bohnsack in 1937. It is widely known in the literature for the unusual inventory that was found in the facility despite a previous robbery i.e. a gold bracelet, decorative metal belt elements and a wooden vessel cover. The central part of the mound was occupied by a wooden chamber measuring 2.8 x 2 m, built of wooden logs and equipped with a wooden floor, serving as a burial chamber. The wooden structure was covered with large stones, and then the earth embankment was secured with a layer of tightly arranged smaller stones.
