JohnLindsay visited on 10th Nov 2014 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The Witham report is published as Oxbow manuscript 26, Rodwell, which makes it a bit harder to find than usual, but WorldCat now makes a considerable difference. It is in Witham, and Witham has an email .gov.uk address, so I'm going to try using these for retrieval. There are walks guides to the Blackwater Valley, and a Tourism Information Centre, but nothing mentioning Rodwell or the hillfort, or picnic site, as you would have it. The recovery from 1844 is in Chelmsford Museum, fire pokers they call them, so there must have been quite a picnic. The railway was driven through the centre apparently, but walking the curve of the river gives a distinct sense of hilliness, by Essex standards. More puzzling is the church, which seems to be on a mound, so one wonders whether there is some sort of combination?
