Two Roman burial mounds, partly excavated in 1839-1840 - Two Roman barrows located 200m ENE of Thornborough Bridge. The western barrow is roughly circular in plan, measuring 40m in diameter and 3.5m high, while the eastern is of a similar size, although slightly more oval in appearance. They were excavated by the Duke of Buckingham in 1839. One contained a cremation burial in a square-bodied glass jug set on a limestone platform. It was accompanied by a second glass jug and the handle of a third, three samian vessels, a poppy-head beaker, bronze objects comprising two jugs, patera, dish and lamp, and a lozenge-shaped piece of gold. A probable late second century date was given for the burial. Finds in Cambridge University Museum. The second barrow, which had previously been robbed, only contained some disturbed stones which appeared to have been the base of a funeral pyre. The barrows are surrounded by earthwork remains of ridge and furrow.
