A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



Belton (ii, 13). — 'Mill Hiir is a large tumulus south-west of 

 Belton. 



Blaxhall (lix, 16). — On the west of Tunstall Heath, south-east of 

 Blaxhall, is a tumulus in which Roman remains were found. 



BucKLESHAM (Ixxxiii, 2). — Tumuli are on Bucklesham Heath adjoining 

 Knight's Heath in the next parish, where others are to be seen. 



Bury St. Edmunds (xliv, 7). — The 'Thing Houe.' Outside the North 

 Gate of Bury, on the west side of the road to Fornham, and formerly partially 

 isolated by the Teyfen Mere and the marshes of the River Lark, is a tumulus 

 on which the ancient court of judicature of the people of Bury assembled. 

 In charters and documents it is variously spelt ' Dinghowe,' ' Thinghoe,' and 

 ' Thinghowe.' It is possibly a monument to the Danish influence in East 

 Anglia ; and as the Dinghowe of St. Edmunds it is mentioned in four Saxon 

 charters.' The name is retained in the ' Thingoe Hundred.' In the latter 

 part of the 19th century excavations proved it to be a tumulus of three inter- 

 ments. The centre, however, was not reached nor the primary burial dis- 

 covered. The East Anglian School now occupies the reduced summit.
