...and now for something completely different! A lovely complete marble base of a Roman tumulus, probably unique in Britain,. Just south of Dere Street and east of Brigantium in Northumberland, on the brow of a hill overlooking the A68. There were originally three Roman circular and square/rectangular mausolea, just to the south of Dere Street, together with up to 75 individual grave mounds placed in three different area either side of the Roman Road.
