Round Barrow in Suffolk

Travellers Hill - This one is marked on OS Pathfinder 963. It is in Kings Forest (Thetford Forest), not far from the West Stow Saxon village. To reach it, park at Kings Picnic Place on the B1106, from there its a 20 to 25 minute brisk walk. Access is normally open unless forestry operations forbid it. Another tumulus is marked only 20 metres away, but nothing remains of it on the surface.
