Round Barrow(s) in Brabant wallon
Historians call this a Roman tumulus, but I think it is in reality a big Gallo-roman tumulus, but can be older & reused by the Galo-Romans. Very big tumulus in a field, famous in the country. Good condition, but covered by trees. You can find easy somes images of it on the web & indications of his location on Google Maps. Rue de la Tombe Romaine, 1315 Incourt Visible from the road N91. From the N91 take the street of the tumulus (rue du tumulus) or the street of Huppaye (rue de Huppaye) and take first street left the street of Roman tomb (rue de la tombe).
