Roman barrow 380 metres north of Hill Farm is a scheduled monument located in Huntingdonshire. The monument sits upon bedrock of the Kellaways and Oxford Clay formations, Oxfordian mudstones, siltstones and sandstones that underlie this part of the East Midlands. Protected by Historic England as a scheduled monument under reference 1020125, the barrow occupies a scheduled area of 0.14 hectares.
This earthwork belongs to the tradition of monumental burial mounds that persisted into the Roman period in Britain. Roman barrows in this region frequently mark the graves of prominent individuals or wealthy families, often positioned to command views across the local landscape and to remain visible to passing travellers. The barrow's location north of Hill Farm places it within the settled agricultural countryside of Roman Huntingdonshire, an area with evidence of substantial Roman occupation and activity.
The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork, a significant archaeological record of Roman-period burial practice in eastern England. Its survival and protection reflect the rarity and importance of such monuments for understanding Romano-British social hierarchy, religious beliefs and funerary customs during the first four centuries AD.
