roman burial mounds Bartlow Cambridgeshire


Bartlow Hills is a Roman tumuli cemetery in Bartlow, Cambridgeshire, England. Four of the original seven tumuli or barrows remain; the largest three are accessible to the public, the northernmost and smallest is on private property and is not easily visible. The remnants of two more are visible as low mounds west of the three largest barrows. The tallest barrow is 15 metres high, and is the largest Roman barrow north of the Alps. The barrows date from the 1st or 2nd centuries AD.
