Abstract
ACCORDING to an announcement reported in The Times of March 29, preparations are being made by the Norfolk Research Committee, of which Mr. Russell J. Colman is president, to explore the site which, from its similarity to that on Salisbury Plain, has been called ‘Woodhenge’, at Arminghall, near Lakenham Baths, Norwich. The existence of this circle was first ascertained by observation from the air by the Royal Air Force, and certain preliminary examinations carried out soon after revealed the character of the site; but no systematic or extended excavation has as yet been attempted. The present operations will be under the supervision of Dr. Grahame Clark, of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and secretary of the Fenland Exploration Committee, and Mr. Rainbird Clark, honorary secretary of the Norfolk Research Committee. The work will begin in August next and, it is hoped, will be completed when the British Association meets at Norwich in the following month.
