ENIn 2006 two barrows (10 and 11) were investigated at Atmainai (Darsûniškis) barrow cemetery (Kaišiadorys Dist.). They had been disturbed by a forest road and a section line. Areas of 64 and 49 m2 respectively were investigated at the barrow sites. The mound of barrow 10 was up to 0.8 m high and up to 6 m in diameter. It was surrounded by a ditch about 1 m wide and up to 35 cm deep with a 1.5 m wide gap on the W side. In the W part of the mound, about 1 m from the barrow’s centre was discovered the cremation burial of a horse: a small pile, 10 cm in diameter, of cremated bones and a bridle bit with a double-jointed mouthpiece and torqued cheek-pieces. The mound of barrow 11 had been flattened and was up to 0.3 m high and up to 5.5 m in diameter. It was surrounded by a ditch up to 0.8 m wide and up to 35 cm deep with a 1.3 m wide gap on the SE side. A badly corroded iron sickle was discovered on the original ground surface at the centre of the barrow. No burials were found in the barrow so it is possible to treat the aforementioned sickle as a grave good from a symbolic horse burial. Both the construction of the barrows and the finds discovered during the investigation of the burials allows them to be dated to the 9th–12th centuries.
