The Veliki Kamen Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Veliki Kamen), also known as the Marsh Mass Grave (Grobišče Čreta), is located on the eastern edge of the settlement, 400 meters (1,300 ft) south of neighboring Veliki Kamen. The grave contains the remains of 20 to 30 Ustaša soldiers killed in mid-May 1945.[4]
