An ancient earthworks has just been discovered in the north of Norwich city. Members of The Ragged Society of Antiquarian Ramblers first noticed evidence of this extraordinary find last Friday:
"Following an extensive breakfast - bacon, eggy dip-dobs, peas, fried bread, blood sausage, pork chops &c - I was perambulating along New Botolph Street, in considerable discomfort from a badly fitted truss, when I looked up and noticed a long earth barrow. 'By Jingo, ratherer!' I exclaimed, as I realised what it was I had discovered: an extremely large erection indeed!"
[Society Member, Munro Tweeder-Harris, Esq.].
Ragged Rambler, Dawson Bulwer-Rant, in between tears of joy, added,
"Hotspot of prehistoric... hic... activity we have here. Stone Clock near... hic... here! Old... it's very old..."
Initial analysis released by the RSAR suggests that the earthworks may be around 4,000 years old. When asked what it was used for, Mr Tweeder-Harris, Esq. and Mr. Bulwer-Rant explained thusly:
"Old... hic"
"Ritual!"
"Yes... hic... ritual - definitely ritual!"
