Scutchamer Knob Artificial Mound View all content for Scutchamer Knob

from 'Berkshire' by Ian Yarrow '...Cwichelmeshlaew, once described as "the boast and glory of our downs", was for long thought to be a burial-place of Cwichelm, a saxon chief, but in 1934 Mr Harold Peake, after a thorough excavation, came to the conclusion that most probably this was not a burial-place at all and had been constructed for some purpose during the early iron age.'
