Tumulus of Glimes

The tumulus measures 15 meters in height and 50 meters in width, making it one of the largest burial mounds in Belgium.

Archaeologists discovered a stone vault beneath the mound, constructed with carefully assembled slabs and covered by a two-piece lid during the Roman period.

The burial mound served as a traditional gathering place where villagers held their first dance during local celebrations and festivities.

Visitors can access the archaeological site at Rue de la Tombe Romaine 14 in Incourt, with guided tours available through advance reservations.

The tumulus stands at the intersection of major roads connecting Jodoigne-Gembloux and Namur-Louvain, marking its position as a regional landmark.
