The exploration site is located in the east side of Xincheng Jiayuan E Area, Peixian Xincheng District, near Hanbang Road in the east. The exploration area is roughly rectangular, about 120 meters long from north to south and 90 meters wide from east to west. The land surface is generally relatively high, with vegetables and crops grown by local residents on the upper side and reeds on the lower side.

According to the survey, exploration area the higher ground, commonly known as "Gu heap", next to the village was also called Gu pile (now demolition).

After the fish pond is filled with garbage, there are still local low-lying areas, overgrown with reeds.

Due to the constraints of practical conditions, the whole area was not explored. There were 3 rows of drilling holes in the east-west direction and 2 rows of drilling holes in the North-South direction, totaling about 200 holes. From the drilling results, above the surface are garbage soil, the highest at about 1.5 meters, below the surface, the middle is also garbage soil, around the Yellow River silt sand, garbage soil and Yellow River silt under the flower soil containing gravel.

According to the exploration results, the exploration area is indeed a tall mound. Judging from the soil quality of the mound, it is likely to be a large scale burial seal.

According to historical records, "Lu Mu tomb" in the county (west) north of one li or three li. The location of Peixian County has changed little in history, which is basically near the old city of Peixian County. The location of Pei County in the Han Dynasty should be slightly to the north (the Wuyang Bridge along the river in the north of the city was found to be rich in bricks and tiles of the Han Dynasty, which should be the Han Dynasty Peixian prefectural Office). The location of "Lv Mu tomb" is exactly in line with the current exploration location. Combined with the terrain characteristics of the exploration area, the name of the village and related legends, we can confirm that it is the "Lv Mu tomb" recorded in the historical records.

Although the record of "Lv Mu Tomb" has a certain "hearsay" color, and archaeological exploration can not confirm that it is the tomb of Lv Mu. However, as a cultural landscape, "Lu Mu Tomb" has become an important part of the history of Peixian County, and according to the exploration results, "Lu Mu tomb" is an ancient tomb of great value. Therefore, it is of great significance to protect "Lv Mu tomb" well, build a small site park, combine site protection with ecological environment, and inherit cultural traditions, protect cultural resources, and serve the society and the public.

It is suggested to construct "Lv Mu Tomb" site park to realize the effective protection of ancient tombs. After the conditions are mature, it can be developed and utilized.
