Hildersham barrow

History of Hildersham Roman barrow

Cyril Fox, 1923, The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region, writes:

On a low lying site in the valley of the Bourn River, 150 yards from the west end of Hildersham Church, a barrow very regular in form – originally a perfect cone – 190 feet in circumference, was examined by Neville in 1852, and his record is preserved in the Audley End Museum.

Various fragments of Roman pottery were found.
