Kõmsi apostliku õigeusu kiriku lähedal on üle 2500 aasta vanad tarandkalmed. Üks kalmetest on pärast läbiuurimist lahti jäetud ja teine rekonstrueeritud. Avatud kalme koosneb ligi paarikümnest tarandist, vanimad asuvad kalme keskel ja on suured. Alguses on surnuid maetud põletamata, hiljem ka põletatult. Kalme jäeti maha hiljemalt ajaarvamise vahetuse paiku. Leidude poolest on Kõmsi kalmed olnud rikkalikud, kõige väärtuslikumad olid Volga-Okaa ülemjooksult pärit ehted. Kõmsil asub ka 11.-13. sajandi põletusmatuste väli ning seal on suurel alal säilinud muistsete põldude jäänuseid.

[ENG] There are fenced burial mounds near Kõmsi's Orthodox church that are more than 2500 years old. One of the mounds was left open after its unearthing and the other has been reconstructed. The open mound consists of nearly two-dozen fenced graves; the oldest are in the middle of the mound and are very big. Originally the dead were buried without cremation; later they were also buried after cremation. The mound was abandoned at the latest by the time of the change in the system of chronology. The Kõmsi mounds have proven rich in findings – the most valuable being jewellery originating from the headwaters of Volga-Oka. There is also the area of 11th-13th century cremation funerals, and traces of ancient fields have been preserved over a large area.
