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.
