Hoo?
Taken on our rain soaked staycation in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Sutton Hoo - the burial site of Anglo Saxon King Rædwald of East Anglia (and others). The mound nearest the house has not been excavated - as it was known to have been robbed in antiquity - this gives an idea of how high the Barrows were before Basil Brown got to work on them and uncovered the famous burial ship and treasures.
The site has a commanding position overlooking the river River Deben (from which the burial ship was dragged) - you can see why it was chosen. Would look even better if it wasn't flanked on 2 sides by industrial scale pig farming.
