Hob Uid: 382991
Location :
Norfolk
Breckland
Thetford
Grid Ref : TL8635082560
Summary : Possible Bronze Age barrow with accompanying cremations and secondary Saxon inhumations found during tree clearance at Thetford cemetery circa 1868.
More information : TL 86358256. 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. (1-2)

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. (3)
