The tumulus of Brustem is a burial mound and for that reason alone deserves respect. Once there, during the 2nd century AD. people commemorated their deceased. In 1992, the then Provincial Gallo-Roman Museum completely restored the site of the tumulus. Management works were carried out, information boards and a picnic bench were installed. A maintenance agreement was concluded with the city of Sint-Truiden. Today nothing remains of that. While in 2019 the tumulus, although very neglected, was still accessible, the access is currently completely barricaded with wood. Heritage care in Flanders, even of centuries-old grave monuments, is often a very painful story.
