Giant's Grave
Giant's Grave tumulus
The Giant's Grave was a prehistoric burial mound which was about eight feet high. It had trees growing on it until houses were built nearby around 1910. The trees were then felled and the mound was buried under soil to form part of the back gardens of the housing.[1][2]
Second World War
During the Second World War, Hillfields was industrial and so the target of German air raids. Trenches and shelters were dug in the park to protect the local populace.[3][4]
