Summary/Abstract: Between 2005–2006 was investigated, in the framework of the “Alburnus Maior National Research Program”, a rectangular funerary precinct with two functioning phases; its dimensions are 4.50 × 3.90 m (the first phase) and 6.00 × 4.50 m (the second phase). The funerary precinct is part of the Roman cremation necropolis from Tăul Secuilor-Pârâul Porcului site. Inside the funerary structure three cremation graves were identified and researched, all of them belonging to the general type of graves in this necropolis. Also have been identified four pits which indicate human interventions on the three graves inside the precinct. The funerary inventory is characteristic for the necropolises at Aburnus Maior: pottery, as well as glass and metal objects. The entire complex was dated to the 2nd century A.D.
