Drakestone Green Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 30th Sep 2016. The 'puddingstone' at Drakestone Green, as I saw it back in the 1980's, actually a ferruginous conglomerate. It's now hidden under a hedge, but the current owner tells me that it's about a metre high, and that there's a similar stone not far away at Ropers Green.

Lady Well, Woolpit
Date Added: 8th Aug 2020
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Suffolk)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 3
Lady Well, Woolpit submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. The actual site of the well is difficult to find, as it feeds a moat so there is a lot of water about. This brick enclosure is the well itself.

Log Text: A dismal place. Calling this a 'well' is a disservice to other wells. Nothing more than mud, bricks and mdf boards.

Vikings Mound
Date Added: 11th Jul 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1977. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Vikings Mound submitted by willowman1 on 26th Sep 2016. Also once known as the Bubberies and Quidenham Mount, this mound is said in local legend to mark a battlefield and/or be one of the many resting places of Boudicca, "with all her jewels". In fact it's almost certainly the motte of a small 12th century castle, built to guard the nearby ford of the river Wittle. Nowadays, it's much more overgrown and hard to see than it was when I visited and photographed it (poorly) in the late 1970's.

Log Text: In the summer of 1971 I spent two weeks on an archaeological dig on Halangy Downs, directed by the late great Paul Ashbee and his wife Richmal. The only thing I can remember unearthing was a perfectly chiselled stone ball, which I was first told was a Roman ballista missile, but later turned out to be a tool for grinding corn in a quern. I think it ended up as a paperweight on the director's desk....
