Allan,
I couldn’t believe the earthworks here when I first saw them - absolutely staggering, it’s a fantastic spot.

Another one that brings back memories. The site at Hawerby was my GCSE Geography project! It is fantastically preserved, with the house platforms and sunken ways still visible. Across the road there used to be remains of ridge and furrow visible and remarkably from the air you can still make out the shape of the church, tower, nave and chancel with apsidal east end.

Maxim,
thanks for the comment and welcome to the site - what a place you live in - it’s fabulous.
There’s an awful lot more to be investigated in and around the area - I’ll try and get some more information and plan another visit - many thanks indeed Maxim

All the best
Rod

i have lived hear since july 2010 - number 2 with the green sheds - have found a few bits of 14th century pottery whilst out with the dog - it’s an interesting landscape to live in …if you look at the satelite maps this area has had so much stuff going on in the dim and distant - one thing i am looking into is the nearby wood known as Stock Furlong - any way if you fancy a brew and a wander round this neck of the wald please get in touch - it seems like we have moved to quite an unusual spot . good thing too ……

Mick,
this is more great information and the possibility of a Pagan worship site intrigues me hugely

Chris,
fascinating, the amount thta’s gone on around here still continues to amaze me

I think it wise also not to publish too many exact locations here, it’s best to preserve them from some who may not be sympathetic.

There is a possibility of there being a wapentake meeting place near here Rod. (cannot remember off hand which wapentake it is as im at work at the moment) This village could be a candidate, given its settlement history. I also suspect that Wyham just down the road was a pagan worship site.

it was with the aid of a detector, i have another site closer to home that i did once years ago, i found a bronze age chissel and the tip of a bronze age socketed spearhead in the same outing ive never been back to that spot since, this one i will keep secret i think at least off here anyway the sight is an impressive and commanding location,

remember me telling you about the celtic mint Rod well on that site there was a mould found for making BA palstave axes…….

kirmond le mire has a smattering too i found a bronze age arrow head there….

regards
chris
