The cemetery of Krzywie

South of the south-east end of the lake near Krzywie there is a big rectangular and artificially rised area.

In the older Polish maps this area is marked as a cemetery. The newer Polish maps show in Krzywie a battlefield and a monument. There are no bushes on the area and only two birch trees, one in the north-west the other in the south-east corner. Drawing an imaginary line through both birches and drawing this line further to the street, leads to a point at the street, where another birch tree is situated. Coincidence?

There are no traces of single graves or grave stones. But an older inhabitant of the village confirms, that this is a cemetery. But he does not know, what kind of cemetery it is.
