The GuardianArticle about the two amateur archaeologists, Mr Mutch and Mr Durbidge, whose discoveries at Pakefield in Suffolk led to the known date of arrival of early humans in northern Europe being pushed back by 200,000 years (to 700,000 years ago). Bravo! |

Brightwell Heath (Round Barrow(s)) — Miscellaneous |
There are a lot of round barrows in this area. Mr Grinsell found reference to them in the 'Letters and Papers Foreign and Domestic' of Henry VIII, XIII (ii), p555, 30 Sept, 1538.Brightwell, 1538: Thomas Toyser to Cromwell complains of divers ill-doers who have digged for gold and treasure in his lordship of Brightwell, Suffolk. Thomas Toyser applies for the Kings licence so that he will not only save much goods and treasure as shall be found there to the King's use, but will the sooner come to the knowledge of these ill-doers.On p38 of Barrow Treasure, in Fact, Tradition, and Legislation L. V. Grinsell Folklore, Vol. 78, No. 1. (Spring, 1967), pp. 1-38. |

Hill of Health (Round Barrow(s)) — Folklore |
|
Ah, the Hill of Health. You can just imagine sitting on this barrow, breathing in the fresh air. Or is that really what it means? T C Lethbridge, in his 1956 article "The Wandlebury Giants", suggests that the name actually comes from 'Hill of Helith' - Helith being another name for Baal / Gog, and relating to sun worship - and maybe he was right. But you'd imagine there must be some local folklore to explain such a name? The 'Hidden East Anglia' website says the sometime owners of the house in whose garden the mound stands said 'Saxons were buried there', and also that Lethbridge heard a local legend about a Dane skinning a shepherd boy there. Neither of which sound very healthy. The barrow is immediately east of a track that the Magic SMR record describes as a route of the Icknield Way. Although it has a dent in where antiquarians dug into it long ago, it is still quite intact and stands 2.7m high. The Wandlebury Giants T. C. Lethbridge Folklore, Vol. 67, No. 4. (Dec., 1956), pp. 193-203. http://www.hiddenea.com/suffolkc.htm |

How Hill (Round Barrow(s)) — Miscellaneous |
| This named barrow is, according to the NMR, a 'prominent landmark' (it's right by the road so should be easy to spot - though I've been along here many times and never had my eyes open for it) and stands "to a height of 2.6m with a maximum diameter of 35m. A hollow on the eastern side is thought to be the result of an unrecorded 'antiquarian' excavation. A letter from W G Clarke to Cyril Fox, dated 1923, stated that `a cinerary urn has been found there and broken up'." |
