The Journal of Breckland Studies – produced by The Breckland Society, in association with Breaking New Ground.

Breckland (the Brecks) is an area of 400 square miles covering parts of south Norfolk and west Suffolk.  Renowned for its sandy soil, flint and twisted pine trees, the area also offers a unique biodiversity due to being the driest part of the UK.  Within the Brecks is a rich heritage stretching from neolithic to modern wartime, along with unique geology and rare animal and plant species.

The Breckland Society have compiled a journal covering many initiatives within the Brecks –

• A fieldwork study of former Desert Rat camps in the area of High Ash;
• Exploring the lives of Goshawks in the Brecks (identifying patterns in nest behaviour, habitat use and movements within and beyond the Brecks);
• The early Palaeolithic archaeology of the Breckland (current understanding and directions for future research);
• Using Google Earth to investigate 20th Century Breckland Military sites;
• The Diary of Frank Norgate (1842 – 1919)
• Nature Conservation, ground disturbance and protecting archaeological remains on Brecks heaths.

This journal is free.  So where do you get your hands on a copy?  Well Brandon Heritage Centre is privileged to have 25 copies.  We will retain one in our library, so if you are unlucky in getting a copy then you can always read on in the centre.
