Looking across the remaining part of Llyn Cerrig-bach towards Valley airfield, where the hoard was found during runway extension work. I’m pretty sure that some of the features to the northwest of the lake are not natural, but there’s nothing on any SMR.

A challenging descent by ladder, winch and harness into a prehistoric underworld will open to the public for the first time this year, allowing exploration of shafts and galleries cut deep under Norfolk heathland more than 4,000 years ago.
The extraordinary surface landscape of Grime’s Graves, pockmarked with hundreds of shallow depressions, puzzled people for many centuries until they were identified about 150 years ago as neolithic flint mines.
