    Ahhh you're on my old stomping ground here! This is actually in Cambridgeshire, just right down in the most Southern corner. You guys came in via the visitors entrance lol Locals use the pathway through the church yard that brings you out in the top right hand corner. That's a stunning trail that.
    Spent a lot of time down here growing up. Always had an uneasy feeling about the place, especially when out alone. I think this is certainly backed up by Dave here saying about how it could have been an exclusive site. That would certainly explain my uneasy feelings.
    Great work as always!

  • @loneyid

    Could the mound have been built 2000 BC along with most of the other megaliths in Britain and then later in Roman times became a burial site. Also are they astrologically or astronomically aligned to orian or Cygnus.

    • @JohnRogersWalks

    • @christianbuczko1481
      @christianbuczko1481 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Those mounds are nothing like bronze age or iron age constructions. That makes it not likely they date from before Roman. They had alot of exclusive Roman finds, they had a small chamber built in them which barrows do not. It appears strongly that they are an unusual form of roman burial, maybe as suggested they were locals, and they adapted much earlier ideas of burial combining a barrow with a tomb to form these very odd hybrid burials.

    • @jvanhee71
      @jvanhee71 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The mounds lie on an ancient lay-line stretching from the Great Yarmouth South west taking in ancient megalithic sites such as Hemmel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Wendover, Pangbourne, Wendover, Andover, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Taunton and many others!

    Back in the 1700's there were teams of men hired to destroy tombs and mounds and hendges. Britian lost quite a bit of her history this way. These days there is more respect for the dead it seems.

    • @psychachu
      @psychachu 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Re: Them being better now.
      Sort of. Except the so called heritage societies stop and limit archaeologists on almost every dig, making progress [especially on Ancient Britain] almost impossible. Time Team used to bitch about it, if you used to watch that?
      It's awful what they did in the 18C though, you're right, we lost A LOT.

  • @haroldhazell4342
    @haroldhazell4342 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brilliant stuff, I've heard of Bartlow Hills before but I didn't know that they were burial mounds!
    I do have a bit of theory: There's another mound in Hockley near Southend called Plumberow Mount which when excavated was found not to contain any grave goods at all, but nobody knows why it was built. One of the theories is that its a watchtower or fire beacon.
    Is it possible that the bodies that were buried at Bartlow were put in pre-existing mounds? I know the Saxons used to re-use older prehistoric mounds.

  • @christianfreedom-seeker2025
    @christianfreedom-seeker2025 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Romans didn't bury in mounds. They buried in catacombs. There might have been Roman catacombs under the few Roman cities in Roman Briton but what happened to them is anyone's guess. Even the great early historian Bede never really touched on the topic.

  • @Survivethejive
    @Survivethejive 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Insular celts stopped using barrows and Romans didn't make them so maybe this was a Roman of Germanic or Scythian descent who kept some of his old culture? DNA of the guy would prove a lot

    Is this not the Trinovanates territory? I’m thinking of Lexden Tumulus, Colchester, Essex...another ancient mound burial site.
    The Trinovantes were colluders with the Romans, until they got stabbed in the back and joined with the Iceni to attack the Roman settlements of Colchester - which was raised to the ground under the leadership of Bouddica - then London, and finally they set off to level St. Albans, not long before the Britons’ end.

    I agree with you John (and Lone yid) that it might have been a re-purposed older mound from the same time as the others in England. I am part of a group now looking into the possible use of water lift locks for the building of pyramids. My focus has been more on the simplest approach to enable it to be proven by demonstration; and looking at not just pyramids or Egypt but at other megalithic structures world wide.Some, at least are obviously astronomical structures (Stone Henge) but others might, I think have other purposes. My approach has had the effect that in looking at the entire world wide phenomenom it has led to amazing discoveries and actual definitive physical proof of this theory's validity. Go to James Northcutt or jimbobpyr on youtube to see the theory and for contact info. Have many answers but no skills necessary to promote it as the poor quality video demonstrates.Need help!
