The mysterious Glebe Mound, Great Havell

 This sand and gravel ridge was left behind at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. It was part of the local ecclesiastical holdings, historically used to graze sheep. Angry reactions to the executions of the monks of the nearby priory initiated legends of evil. When the thin pathetic remains of the six witches of Havell-on-the-Marsh swung on gallows in the summer breezes, a myth, that the mound was intrinsically malevolent began and persisted into the 20th century. Although these fables angered historians, they were unable dispel them.
