Tips
Roman burial mounds used to be here.The predominant form of burial during the Older Roman Empire (mid-1st to early 3rd century) was cremation under burial mounds. The dead were burned in vessels at the stake with clothing and jewelry, food and drink and then buried. A large mound of earth was heaped over the grave.The most important finds from the excavations can be seen in the exhibition at the Roman Museum in St. Martin.There is also a shady rest area with a table and benches.
