A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK rounded vault of Roman bricks was a leaden coffin ; this with its contents was deposited in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge. Two other tumuli near the same spot have been destroyed. Snape (Ix, 9). — Tumuli abound by the side of the Roman road from Aldeburgh, through Snape ; this is especially noticeable on Church Common. Several large barrows formerly stood near Snape Priory, but they have been levelled, among them a most interesting ship-barrow, wherein the position of the iron bolts gave the dimensions and form of the original vessel ; relics of gold, of glass, and of onyx, of the Norse burial were found; above them the cinerary urn and articles of an early British interment had been placed. These relics are now in the possession of Mr, A. J. Swinburne of Snape Priory. Sutton (Ixxvi, 4). — ' Sutton Haugh' is a name now generally applied to a group of twelve tumuli situated high above the left bank of the River Deben, opposite the town of Woodbridge. These are bowl-shaped barrows ; the most northern is over 40 ft. in diameter at the base and rises to 8 ft.; the next one to it is small, being only 4 ft. 10 in, in height ; another, with a diameter of 78 ft. and a height of 7 ft. 4 in,, has been cut through. One of oval form 80 ft. long by 50 ft, broad attains a false height of 18 ft. by the throwing up of the earth in an unsystematic exploration. Troston (xxii, 16). — Three tumuli are on Troston Heath, one of them being called 'Black Hill.' Walberswick (xxxix, 4), — A tumulus is on 'Tinker's Walks,' a heath south of the railway, Wangford (xii, 7). — On Wangford Warren are tumuli of the Bronze Age. Westleton (xxxix, 8). — A tumulus lies to the west of Fen Covert, south of Newdelights Walks, Westley (xliv, 6). — On Shire House Heath, between the roads from Risby Gate and North Gate of Bury, is a tumulus called Henhowe, which was made the Hill of Judicature when the local court was transferred from Cattes- hill in 1305. Other tumuli in the northern part of the parish have been explored ; one opened in 1883 was of the Neolithic Age, another opened in 1884 contained a large Celtic cinerary urn, and another at Westley Bottom contained Roman remains. Wordwell (xxii, 14). — A tumulus lies in a field to the south of Chalk Lane, west of Culford Heath hamlet.
