Also see WKB Misc.
References to a bronze Hercules figurine, a handle decorated with four faces and coins in (S3), although claimed to be from this same site, actually appear to have been a muddle of the C18 location and finds listed in (S4) as from Lidgate (villa? - LDG 001).
Two `Honeycoomb' fields are listed in the Wickhambrook Tithe Apportionment (fields 427 and 427a). One (427) is slightly over 5 acres, the other (427a) slightly over 4 acres (S5). Site plotted as boundaries shown on Tithe Map under field 427a.
