Barlings Well

At high tide, Barlings in Lincolnshire would have been an island when the River Witham was still tidal. There are barrows here and a ploughed out Iron age settlement. Later, in 1154, an abbey was built here. Only one wall of it remains. A well is also to be found, at the foot of this tree.

A finely preserved Iceni ditch and banked enclosure on the salt marshes near Holkham. Access is poor as the area is a nature reserve, but a good view can be had from the high observation hide overlooking the marshes on the edge of the woods. The camp was also reputedly used by the Danes.

Annan Road Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery

A group of five Bronze Age barrows on a scrap of water meadow squeezed between the University of Essex and the railway line. Originally spotted by aerial photographs in 1948, the official monument record designates this site as 'a group of five round barrows within the floodplain of the River Colne and at the confluence with Salary Brook'. The mounds are just visible if you know where to look, and one currently lies beneath a derelict car park.
