There are a number of tumuli in Nacton woods marked on the OS map; collectively they are known as The Seven Hills (a common name for such tumuli - there are at least two other "Seven Hills" in East Anglia, both of which also refer to a local concentration of burial mounds). Despite the name, the Pastscape record (accessible via the web link below) lists at least 12 in this area - presumably "The Seven Hills" just has a nice ring about it. This example (entry 'C' in the Pastscape record) is probably the best preserved and easiest to identify in the local area, although it can only be readily seen in winter or early spring - in high summer it is completely obscured by undergrowth. A field report from 1962 measured this mound at 20 mteres in diameter and 1.3 mteres high. For further details on this ancient monument see the entry on thetumulussite.com: Link
