Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRANDON , a market town in the
Stowmarket
  parliamentary division of Suffolk, England, on the Little Ouse or Brandon river, 861 m. N.N.E. from London by the Ely-
Norwich
  line of the
Great
  Eastern railway. Pop. (Igor) 2327. The church of St Peter is Early English with earlier portions; there is a freegrammar school founded in 1646; and the town has some carrying
trade
  by the Little Ouse in corn, coal and timber. Rabbit skins of fine texture are dressed and exported. Extensive deposits of flint are worked in the neighbourhood, and the
work
  of the " flint-knappers " has had its counterpart here from the earliest eras.of man. Close to Brandon, but in Norfolk across the river, at the
village
  of Weeting, are the so-called Grimes'
Graves
 , which,
long
  supposed to show the
foundations
  of a British
village
 , and probably so occupied, were proved by excavation to have been actually neolithic flint workings. The pits, though almost completely filled up (probably as they became exhausted), were sunk through the overlying chalk to the depth of 20 to 6o ft., and numbered 254 in all. Passages branched out from them, and among other remains picks of deer-horn were discovered, one actually bearing in the chalk which coated it the
print
  of the workman's hand.
