Bartlow Hills is a Roman tumuli cemetery in Bartlow . Four of original seven barrows remain, but only the largest three are accessible to the public; the northernmost and smallest is on private property and not easily visible. The remnants of two more are visible as low mounds west of the three largest barrows. The tallest is 15 metres high, and the largest barrow north of the Alps.Excavations were undertaken in the 19th century , discovering remains of large wooden chests, decorated vessels in bronze, glass and pottery and an iron folding chair . A small Roman villa, occupied until the late 4th century, was situated north of the mounds and was excavated in 1852.
