'Another large tumulus, now gone, near Lord Leicester's garden in the same park'.

R.R. Clarke (NCM).

Among sources given by Clarke it is difficult to tell which refer to this site and which to NHER 1779.
(S1) says only 'a mound near the stables of Holkham Hall' also 'human remains found', checked by E. Rose (NAU).
(S2) 'tumulus near church'.
(S3) 'Human bones and pieces of armour' in tumulus' a little distance from the church'.
(S4) calls tumulus.
(S5) 'Danish tumulus'; called Hadehogate 1234 Haddehowe 1306 = Hadda's Hill, perhaps Howe Hill.
See NHER 1781, a Saxon cemetery, perhaps the same site, as assumed by (S6).
