Bloodgate Hill, South Creake

The only pre-Roman Iron Age hillfort in Norfolk that lies convincingly on a hill has, since 2003, been in the safe hands of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, but in 1827, considered no more than a hindrance to agricultural improvement, it was severely damaged by levelling. Despite this partial destruction it remains a site of abiding interest and deserves to be better known. Geophysical survey ...

Thanks. This was an interesting perspective and outline of the discover and complications around seahenge.
Just found you on UA-cam. Very interesting but I have a question about GarageBand. How do you export files to you laptop? Doesn’t GarageBand mix down and render to stereo?
Thank you for sharing this informative video. As an amateur archaeologist, I am aware that archaeology is destructive: once a site has been fully excavated, there may, as in this case, be nothing left to see. However, the site would, in any case, have been covered and lost repeatedly, until it eventually disappeared completely. What can be learned from recovery and detailed study of the timbers can tell us much about climate, availability of resources, tools, techniques and workforce required to construct such structures, as well as develop theories of why and how they were built. I appreciate that this may run counter to the sentiments of those who believe that they are the guardians of ancient beliefs, and that the removal of the timbers may represent an attack on those beliefs. I think it is important to acknowledge that the destruction of a site is irreversible. But I also believe that what can be learned adds to our knowledge and understanding of ancient technology and thinking, and helps reduce often irrational speculation about the origin and purpose of sites of worship, habitation and burial.
Unfortunately the trams will need to be re-built very much as they were.
Superb presentation
very good
RIP..🙏💛💚
Terry in the best city shirt ever . A great servant .
Excellent. Very enjoyable to this retired digger from the. N.A.U./ N.P.S team. 😊 Found a small undercroft in Pottergate!. If I may say,your lecturing style is perfect. Duke St. keeps threatening to start demolition and then the crucial archaeology between Westwick St Duke St. and the river. It'll be like the Somme. Bet they do it in winter! Got to meticulously record the late Med,business before the pleasure of digging the Angles ,Danes and Normans!
Dr. Pinching is my great great grandfather. He and his wife, Lorina’s sister, ended up in Arizona.
Thanks for sharing!

a very informative and enjoyable talk thank you chris x
thanks and well said x
Hello, can you tell me if Horsford castle (just north of Norwich) was ever in the hands of the Howard family? Horsford motte & bailey was built by Walter de Caen and his son Robert fitz Walter was Sheriff of Norfolk & Suffolk. In 1069 Roger Bigod, Robert Malet and Ralph de Gael (then Earl of Norfolk), defeated the Dane Sweyn Estrithson's invasion attempt near Ipswich. After Ralph de Gael's fall in 1074, Roger was appointed sheriff of Norfolk & Suffolk, and acquired many of the dispossessed earl's estates. Roger Bigod is a direct ancestor of the Howards.
Thank you. Fantastic educational video, very well presented. Can't see why there was so much controversy, but then you can't please everyone. Still, those that blinker themselves from science shouldn't stop the quest for knowledge of our distant past. If you had not carried out your work as you did I would never have been able to watch your fascinating and informative lecture. You have enriched the history of the human race.
The point you mention about the electrical discharge experience likely indicates that the site was chosen in pre-history as a place where 'unseen' forces could come into play during auspicious moments and as you know all of the 'ancient' gods were the unseen natural forces.
Thanks for sharing this process with us. Great care and consideration was taken to conserve this awesome part of our history ✨
Pity the sound quality isn't better.
The echo stops after a few minutes, if that is what you mean 👍🏼
Very interesting talk
Lovely ❤
My father-in-law took my husband on a train journey, and back to Thetford war memorial, for a few moments reflection. Thank you for these words.
This is a fascinating mini-documentary about the Red House and the wealth of material housed in its archive. And so nicely presented by Dr Hilton. I've never yet visited but plan to this summer.
Looking forward to any diaries from Kimberley, Wicklewood, Wymondham, Carleton Forehoe and Thetford. I really enjoyed these snippets. Thank you.
Where can I find more of your soundscapes?
Would you consider making a nature soundscape for a project in panama? Or helping ?
Hi, I think it is unlikely we would be able to find the time as we have many events planned over the next few months. But do feel free to email in to norfrec@norfolk.gov.uk with some more details and we can have a look.
Just showd ths to my husband, lov't❤ Descendants from Wicklewood, Carleton, Thetford and Suffolk here, gooin back 1770odd. Still speak'n proppa over brekfst. Thanks so much frm cuppla olfowk.
Brilliant. Unstone evri darn word boi !
Me too. I laarfed till the teers run down moi leg. I grew up hearing this, and it's gut-wrenching realising that there are so few people left that know or care about this part of our heritage.
Fantastic. Thank you for the lecture
Very helpful, clear, and informative.
my great great grandad was from Norfolk i never got to know him but i have the utmost respect for him and im here as i wanted to learn a little bit about your people my greagreat grandad came to australia in the 1800s
Excellent job Thank you
Great content.
My great ancestor 🌟
From 1985 to 1988 I lived in East Anglia, taking regular visits to the Norfolk coast. During the pandemic I began watching decades' worth of Time Team, including the episode about "Seahenge." Yes, thanks to UA-cam, all the great British television unseen by me three decades ago I got caught up on. This presentation is an outstanding gift to continue learning about and understanding the site and the controversies attached to it. Thank you!
I had not heard of this site before. I wonder why you felt it necessary to destroy this site at all . .
Did you watch the video? The site was being destroyed by storm action and coastal erosion. Norfolk has the highest rates of coastal erosion in Europe. Inaction would eventually result in the site being lost, potentially within years. Instead the site has been comprehensively recorded and the individual timbers preserved for all of us.
Excellent talk thank you.
Bootifull
Fascinating video, thank you for uploading
Well done. 👏
Outstanding work! The druid parts were hilariuos xD
4:28 That horse has 3 front legs and 3 rear ! Great video, resplendent with authentic Norfolk backward-looking attitude !
Seahenge, Boudicca’s University of Druidic Sciences?
Its as though none of the negative comments here watched the video 🙃 Thank you for doing your best to protect such an amazing site. I love that a honeysuckle rope was found, how beautiful it must have looked when it was new 🥰
Thank You for the work and for sharing this!
Loving this, and all the things that happened before, during and after were wonderfully told. This must have been like a great adventure. So glad you shared your story in such detail. I love archaeology and storytelling.
Many thanks for a considered and interesting explanation of an important excavation, including the practical difficulties of coping with those who opposed the dig.
Love it
Enjoyable video, particularily for us Norwich folk. Two observations, the male voice doesn't come across to clearly and bit surprised that no mention of where the trams where serviced/stored overnight, I know it was Silver Road depot, but others may not.
Lovely….. My family have lived in West Norfolk as far back as I came ACCURATELY get records for - 1635, although we probably go back longer than that. I’m proud - deeply - to have Norfolk in my veins, and when I see my DNA results that say “England, East Anglia” I proper puff up.
An' roitly so, they worked their knuckles to the bown t'feed the nation.
