Six Hills Burial Mounds in Stevenage, England
Ad 728×90
Along a busy section of the historic Great North Road in the post-war town of Stevenage sits a series of six Roman burial mounds, also known as barrows or tumuli. Believed to originally have been constructed around 100AD, they likely contain the remains and possessions of a wealthy family.
Over the years the hills have been subject to much disturbance - having been dug into several times and had soil removed for use elsewhere, which has resulted in the mounds losing several feet of height over time. Despite this, they have survived remarkably well and are actually the largest group of Roman barrows still standing in England in the present day.
