@mclo_Bridger @Durotrigesdig I don't think so. I would imagine the burials were sealed into the mounds as they were constructed or cut into the top afterwards

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

After 30 or so years interest in archaeology, it is fairly rare to visit a new site and go wow! The size of the Bartlow Hills Roman burial mounds in Cambridgeshire means that they definitely have the wow factor.

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@OtterIndigo @megportal Thanks. I really must explore that part of Essex

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@JonSkin33208242 Yes they are. The scrub vegetation has recently been mown by @CambsCC who manage the site.

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@mclo_Bridger @Durotrigesdig The barrows were partly excavated in the 19thC and it appears that there were both cremations and inhumations with grave goods.

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@SligoRiverBlues They are quite rare and limited to Eastern England and Belgium. The burial practise was fairly short-lived between the late 1st & early 2nd C AD.

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@alwaystotheside @megportal Ooh no. I'll have to have a look in when I'm next passing.

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

@JohnPeg83296785 Shows up how nicely aligned the four best preserved barrows are.

Lovely clapper bridge at Postbridge, Devon. The finest in the county according to the scheduled monument list entry https://t.co/rHMiz0hvD2

[Dr James Albone @JamesEAlbone]

It's always exciting to visit new scheduled monuments. Today it was the Devil's Ditch linear earthwork at Burwell, Cambridgeshire. https://t.co/vyGtHByFh6
