Roman briquetage mounds on Burtle Moor is a monument consisting of the remains of salt-making activity dating to the Roman period. Located in Somerset, these earthwork features represent the industrial evidence of salt production, a valuable commodity during Roman Britain. The mounds themselves are composed of briquetage, the waste material accumulated from salt extraction processes, and their presence indicates the scale of Roman salt manufacture in this wetland environment. Such sites are significant archaeological indicators of Romano-British economic activity and the exploitation of natural resources in the Somerset Levels.
