The Six Hills are a collection of Roman barrows dating to the 1st–2nd century AD, situated alongside the old Great North Road on Six Hills Common in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England [1]. They are classed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and are protected by law [1]. They form the largest surviving Roman barrow group in England [1]. For almost two thousand years, these barrows have marked the landscape as a notable landmark and lent their name to Six Hills Way, an important local thoroughfare [1].
