Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
New centre proposed for Grimes GravesSeventy five years after Grimes Graves, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, was first opened to the public, English Heritage is set to bring the Neolithic flint mining site into the 21st century... Grimes Graves, which was first opened to the public in 1931, has a grassy lunar like landscape of more than 400 pits and Britain's only accessible flint mine. It is also home to a host of rare wild flowers and birds, like the skylark, nightjar, and woodlark. Between 2100 and 1800BC, it was a place for flint excavation and tool making and from 1000 to 800BC it was used by Bronze Age farmers.

Prestaugus [p/s?], and his predecessors led the Iceni. His "bride" led them into near extinction.
I wonder if this is the town where the uprising first occurred. If so, it was probably overrun and sacked by Boudicca's rebels.
These Roman towns were often settled by Roman veterans and their families. In one town, the Romans gathered in the temple to await relief or to find succor from the Gods. The rebels burnt the temple down over their heads. Should be some charred remains if this is the town.
