The Gartree Hill: Part 1

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

Part 1 of Ben Jackson's archaeological mystery tour, he's in search of something that for over a thousand years was one of the most important points in Leicestershire... The Gartree Hill. The name is infamous, but for generations it was a vital meeting point where noble-men could thrash out disputes, come to agreements or, if you were unlucky, get executed. BBC Radio Leicester's Ben Jackson met local archaeologist, Peter Liddle, along with his pile of maps.
