There is a chain of Iron Age forts in the Stort and Lea valleys defending the tribal boundaries between the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes. Archaeological excavation is currently taking place. |

(2005-10-02) | It seems very likely that one of your ancestors came from Clavering in Essex. Clavering is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and derives from the Anglo-Saxon "claefre-ing" meaning a clover field. |
