The three well-known tumuli at the top of Alms Hill, Bourn, are being opened. A deep cutting has been made across the first one, but nothing of great value found. The chief discoveries include bones and teeth of domestic animals, oyster shells and bits of bronze. This may be due to it having been opened by Earl Delawan 50 years ago. It is hoped that the second tumuli will be more interesting. 09 08 20 — Mike Petty, Bourn Scrapbook 1897 to 1990.
