Also known as: The Six Hills Roman barrows

The Six Hills are a collection of Roman barrows situated alongside the old Great North Road on Six Hills Common in Stevenage, Hertfordshire [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, travellers along the Roman road that eventually became the Great North Road have passed these six large mounds [1].
