A little further west in Nottinghamshire there is Teversal, possibly an Anglo-Saxon 'Sorcerer's Stronghold' :) See http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/11/sorcerers-stronghold-tolkien.html …pic.twitter.com/zE8tQaGkRh

The monstrous names in the landscape are also worth noting, such as Trowlers Gill/Trollers Gill, West Yorkshire: 'the troll's arse ravine'…pic.twitter.com/aZdROv8tC2
And not forgetting Nicarpool, Lincoln, where the Great Gowt meets Sincil Dyke, from OE nicor, 'water-monster' :) See http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/12/the-monstrous-landscape-of-medieval.html …pic.twitter.com/III4k5yHv1

Intriguing. The Norfolk Ingham is a tiny place.
The Lincolnshire example isn't exactly a major site either, though are some high-status AS finds from there...
The only thing I’m aware of at The Norfolk site is a medieval priory. Although there have been a few other finds I believe.
It is in a cluster of -ingas settlements though. I’ll have to have a dig about. Excellent article btw.
Thanks! Yes, be interested in any archaeological context you find! :)
...this is why your tweets are required reading: academic rigour with spine tingling history! Have an excellent Sunday, Dr Green! 

Very kind! You too :)
Flipping awesome set of tweets. Wow!
Thanks! :)
Has anyone ever suggested that the Norfolk and Suffolk Inghams could be Norse-influenced and derive from Ivarr/Hyngwar?
Not heard that theory! But there is a very good investigation of these names by K. I. Sandred in Leeds Studies in English, 18 (1987) :)
