Hetty Pegler’s Tump

After visiting Hetty Peglar’s at the weekend with a friend who asked ‘Where did the name come from?’ I thought I’d try and find out. A cursory glance at Google found ‘Earth Mysteries: Hetty Peglar’s Tump‘ and the suggestion that the tump is named after the wife of the owner of the field. Sounds possible but not as exciting as the wise woman versions I’ve heard elsewhere.
