The trees of Thetford Forest hide and preserve the history of the landscape. The area around High Lodge has been used for burials and as a source of flint.
Many historic route ways once crossed the warren lands, but many are now only forestry rides or footpaths.
The burial mounds that have been identified in the High Lodge area are of the Round Barrow type and are circular mounds slightly raised above the surrounding land.
From the neolithic period until the early 20th century, the high quality flint that can be found under High Lodge has been exploited for tools, weapons and as a building material.
The roads and paths through and around High Lodge have taken different routes through the ages. Research and field survey has helped us understand these changes.
