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.’ (my italics)
