Mutlow Hill
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Mutlow Hill submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. Mutlow Hill, on Fleam Dyke. Looking southeast
The Saxons often used round barrows for secondary burials or, as here, as "mutlows". These were meeting places (mut= meet and low is from hlaw - a sacred mound) At the local mutlow, local matters would be discussed, laws proclaimed and disputes settled. Sometimes punishments or executions would take place and many mutlows retained this last feature and became gallows hills.

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.

St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas)

St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas) submitted by ermine on 9th Jan 2005. St Augustine's well in Cerne Abbas is a tranquil place. Walk up Abbey Street and turn into the graveyard - the well is a couple of hundred yards alond the track. The flow is good and was the village's source of drinking water in the last century.
The Abbey nearby is also worth a visit, as well as the nearby Giant hillfigure.

Kersey Puddingstone submitted by ermine on 15th Nov 2005. This is the overview of where this stone is, half buried in the pavement by the footbridge over the watersplash. It is on the left if you are standing on the bank overlooking the watersplash up the hill towards the church.
Don't miss the other stone which is about 200 metres away on the other side of the road erupting from the pavement near some steps

Froggatt Edge stone circle is set on a flat shelf, overlooking the picturesque Derwent Valley.
Often referred to as Stoke Flat, the site is complex, though now sadly quite ruined.

Rolstone submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Jan 2018. Near Cannaway's Farm, this stone stands in the middle of a field.
