Aerial image of the burial mounds

#Bartlow Hills, Cambridgeshire — the largest #Roman barrow cemetery in #Britain and home to the tallest Roman burial mound in the country.

A stone built church with round Norman crenellated tower at the far end, and nave, chancel and north transept at the near end. There is a cemetery with gravestones in the foreground.

A medieval church wall painting of a red figurative dragon with long looped tail to the left and, on the right, a head with large ears or horns and tongue or fire from its mouth. A mounted stone memorial plaque partially covers the painting.

Walk on to St Mary's Church #Bartlow and you'll see some breathtaking 15th century wall paintings. Originally a scene of St George slaying the dragon, it now stands alone triumphant #OutAndAboutArchaeology @archaeologyuk.bsky.social historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-...

Two tall conical grass-covered mounds, one to the right in the foreground and one to the right in the distance with wooden steps to the top. There is a tree to the left in the foreground.

View looking down and across to a conical grass-covered mound in the distance from the top of a second in the foreground. A woman wearing a long green coat and glasses stands to the left.

Went further afield for #OutAndAboutArchaeology today to visit #Bartlow Hills #Cambridgeshire Originally the largest group of Roman barrows in northern Europe, the three largest mounds are impressive structures and publicly accessible
