Burial mounds
This prehistoric cemetery of four burial mounds (also known as barrows or tumuli) is a scheduled ancient monument (SAM). The largest mound rises two metres above the marsh, though the other three are less obvious. Several cremated bodies were found together with parts of a shield and knife when the barrows were excavated between 1847 and 1877. It's likely that the barrows were constructed in the early Bronze Age (c.200-700 BC), and also later used by Anglo-Saxons in the area.
