As we approach the latter stages of our fascinating study into the mysterious and unique Black Ditches at Risby and Cavenham, we’re on the trail of the Trinovantes. They were one of two late Iron Age pre-Roman tribes, along with the Iceni, that inhabited Suffolk and Norfolk from 1st Century B.C to 1st Century A.D.

We’re proud to share the arrival of Solar Sands, our collaborative Fog Pale Ale with Suffolk’s finest brewers, Burnt Mill Brewery. Solar Sands is a tribute to our Suffolk Solar Sandlings Walk.

We’re just back from a wonderful windswept trip to Maelmin Henge and the wider ritual landscape of the surrounding Millfield Basin, Northumberland. Our focus has been on the longest known ‘pit alignment’ in the country, referred to as Ewart 1, at over 1 kilometre in length.

We’ve been out in the field researching the Black Ditches at Risby in Suffolk, the most easterly of 5 such dykes and ditches that stretch out across the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire landscape.

Out in the field, furthering our investigations for ‘Staverton pt 2 – Skyscapes and Landscapes of the Wuffing Kingdom’. Exploring the sky ground correlations of an ancient green road in Suffolk. We believe this was once a processional routeway, targeting specific celestial and solar targets in the dawn and night sky on key dates of the ritual year.

Well amongst the most trying of times, this covid-era lockdown is bringing some shards of light. With our once a day walk in the woods and fields there’s plenty of time to research and reflect.

On the eve of a new orbit around our Sun, we look forward to greeting 2020 with you. We’d like to thank you for your support and signpost some of the wonderful hidden mysteries in our landscape that we will be endeavouring to explore and investigate in the year ahead.
