Tumulus of Trou de Billemont, Ancient burial mound in Antoing, Belgium.
The circular tumulus measures 23 meters in diameter and 9 meters in height, featuring a stone drum base and internal corridor.
The tumulus was constructed during the first or second century CE as a burial site for an unidentified member of the Roman elite.
Archaeological excavations in 1624 and 1640 documented the internal structure, with plans preserved in the Municipal Library of Besançon.
The archaeological site remains accessible for viewing during daylight hours and includes informational panels about its historical significance.
This westernmost large tumulus in Belgium contains a T-shaped corridor leading to a vault with niches designed for funeral urns.
