Flakes of flint nearby conjure up images of Neanderthals sitting around the fire, knapping stone tools as they told each other stories long into the night.

Go to a few places in East Anglia and it's not much different now! Speaking as a Norfolk boy who grew up 30 odd miles from that location I've passed Barnham a few times on my way back to visit my parents. Never knew about the interesting Neanderthal history that sat there.
