Though not strictly our kind of thing (pardon pun) there is a rather nice article at http://www.indigogroup.co.uk/edge/crockern.htm that discusses very early English local sites of government that could provide some of our fellows with clues to prehistoric boundaries and such for further investigation.

nice one wideford, I missed what you were saying here first time around, sorry! Here's a quote, though, from that article you link to, which suggests that Pol's stump was a law-making place in the style of the Anglo-Saxon Moots and Hundreds:

"The choice of Pol's Stump, a stone or cross, as a moot for the Londoners [47] may go back to this phase of purely ritual occupation." (from the final paragraph of the article)
