Round Barrows in Suffolk
Two unexcavated round barrows stand on the heathland known as Tinkers Walks, beside the B1387 road from Blythburgh to Walberswick. One, at TM46997465, is 32m across but less than a metre high, and has been clipped by the road. The other is 21m across and 1.2m high, and it is from this mound that on certain moonlit nights, the ghostly 'Heath Horse' is said to emerge and gallop silently over the heath.
Although some have said the barrows are Bronze Age, their position on high ground overlooking an estuary has suggested to others that they might be Saxon, possibly even ship burials.
