document missing?
no conclusion about the dates on the mounds at Bartlow, one at least later than AD 90. If they pre-date AD60 we can write them off, but if they post date there is a pretty broad range of dates for raising memorials; after the event, at the death of the surviving combatants, or even by their grand children.
The extant mounds are quite spectacular and well worth a detour but only three remain of the original group of at least 8 (nine would have been better)so who knows what is lost.
