The Tumulus of the Six Brothers is a Gallo-Roman burial mound near Dhuy in the municipality of Éghezée, in the Belgian province of Namur. The hill is located at a junction on the east side of the village on the Route des Six Frères, the N942. There are five lime trees on the hill. A chapel dedicated to Saint Roch is said to have been built here in 1890. In World War II, the chapel was destroyed by the French army to blow up all the crossroads as a tactic to slow down the German advance. There are several legends circulating locally, including that the trees were planted by six brothers during the war. Another version says that the trees were planted in memory of the six brothers who died in the war.
