The remains of a Roman mausoleum have been discovered in south London, and researchers believe it’s the most intact mausoleum of that type ever discovered in Britain, according to a report from BBC News.

The “incredibly rare” mausoleum was discovered by archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) at an excavation site called Liberty of Southwark. Researchers believe the mausoleum may have been a wealthy family tomb, as it was once an impressive building that was likely two stories high, The Guardian reported.
