Harold Wood to Navestock Common - the Druid Temple (4K)

Walk from Harold Wood station across Central Park, Harold Hill and Dagnam Park to Noak Hill and Navestock Common in the London Borough of Havering in search of William Stukeley's 'temple of the Druids' that he identified in the 18th Century.

"In 1725 William Stukely came across a feature on Navestock Common which he described as a system of mounds and earthworks. He gave the site the name "alate temple of the druids" as part of the earthworks, according to Stukely, took the form of a wing (`ala' is Latin for wing). E A Rudge reports seeing earthworks in Mason's Plantation but their size and shape could not be deciphered as they were so overgrown. OS plan card shows a copy of Stukely's plan. Amember of the public (Mr Channon) had reported the flattening of mounds on the Mores Plantation. A site visit to confirm this was made by Havis and Medlycott (4/4/1992) who found that the brambles previously reported had been removed (1986 to 1991) revealing a series of earthwork banks surrounding a central circular mound. The central mound had been heavily quarried with a circle of trees interpreted as denoting the original edge of the mound. Havis suggests this represents a small motte and bailey or two adjoining baileys to the central motte. It is not clear whether this is the temple refered to by Stukely or if that is located at the western end of Mores wood."
