The Six Hills Roman barrows is a group of six burial mounds located near Stevenage in Hertfordshire, England. These earthworks date to the Roman period and represent a rare example of Romano-British burial practice in the region, suggesting the presence of a significant settlement or administrative centre in the vicinity. The barrows vary in size and form a distinctive linear arrangement across the landscape, with their survival as visible earthworks making them valuable archaeological monuments. Their purpose and the status of those interred within them remain subjects of archaeological interest, as such formal burial monuments were not uniformly common throughout Roman Britain and their presence here indicates local wealth or importance during the Roman occupation.
