Publications: Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology, Vol. 6 (1883-88),54 footnote: Henry Prigg: "On a Roman British cemetery at Ingham, now Bury St. Edmunds", pp. 41-54. "It may be interesting to note how that a few years ago a nice little bronze spearhead was found by a man ditching in the moor near Twinworth Church, and therefore not far removed from the position indicated. It is 7 1/2 inches long by 2 inches in width of blade, a perfect specimen of the same type as that found during excavations made by the Rev. Harry Jones in Barton Mere, and described by him in the Journal of the Suffolk Institute, Part II, p. 33."
