XII.—On the exploration of a Barrow at Youngsbury, near Ware, Herts.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
In treating of the parish of Standon, Salmon, in his History of Hertfordshire, relates that “At the Extremity of this Parish are two large Barrows on the Brink of the Hill which overlooks Thundritch Church, between which and the Barrows is the Course of the Rib. This Place is called Haven End; probably for having been the Harbour where the Danes laid up their Vessels, which they brought from the Thames to Ware and Hertford to carry off their Plunder. Here they were well seated to have the Roman Road for Carriage of what they could pick up, and to drive the Cattle they stole. And these Tumuli being at that Haven, which could never be used as such by any but the Danes, helps forward the Conjecture that these in England are chiefly Danish Work, set up for Victory and Terror.”
