West Mersea Barrow
Just up the East Mersea road as you come onto Mersea Island, is a conspicuous mound on the left. It is thought to be a Roman burial barrow, dated 100-120 AD. The mound was excavated in 1912 and an entrance passage built.In the centre was a small burial chamber built of Roman bricks capped by septaria (clay nodules) and inside was a lead box with a wooden lid. The box contained an urn of green glass containing cremated remains.
The barrow is also known as Mersea Mound, Mersea Mount or Grim's Hoe.
