Quintus Laberius Durus - 50

Quintus Laberius Durus lies buried on Juliberrie Down on the opposite side of the river to Chilham. He was a tribune killed during one of the first violent battles with the Britons in 50 BC. High upon Juliberrie Down there lies a burial ground known as Juliberrie Grave (barrow). This burial mound was probably built by Neolithic people for a Celtic chief some three thousand years ago contemporary with the building of Stonehenge.
