Round Barrow in Suffolk
"In 1868 trees were cleared from a tumulus a few yards south of the chapel in the modern cemetery at Thetford, revealing about twelve inhumations oriented with heads to the south. Primary cremations were also noted. Interpreted as a Bronze Age barrow with Saxon secondaries.
The site of the tumulus is within a modern cemetery. The only visible mounding is at TL 86378252, some 50 metres S. of the cemetery chapel. Occupying a local emience, this may possibly mark the barrow site, rather than that of the church. "
