Thanks, Deryk - interesting report. Looks like you have your Claudian fort at Upper Cunetio, and therefore road(s)... And if I were you I'd be interested in the 'polygonal temple enclosure' (p.21) nearby - possible victory monument? :wink:

I think the mounds might be write-off-able anyway, I'm afraid! Romans practiced cremation until the mid 2nd-C, and particularly with a large number of battle dead mound-building is out. More likely they were raised by the Romanised British local aristocracy.
btw, you're slacking, John - your post was 151 words! hock: mile:
