At Hagg Hill, near Newington, human bones are often found, and in 1831, nearly a complete skeleton was discovered. Mr Joshua Moxon was at the expense of its being interred in the churchyard. (1)
Hagg Hill could not be located, but a slight eminence centred at SK 6735 9385 is known locally as Hagg Field. This has a disused sand pit on the summit, which may be the provenance of the remains. (3)
Published sandpit now levelled and under pasture. Enquiries at NCRO and search failed to locate Hagge Hill. (4)
Bassetlaw Museum records (and ref 7) state "On Hagg Hill from gravel pit". "Old Sand Pit" shown on 1902 OS 25 inch at above NGR. Quarry probably backfilled during construction of Newington Farm in the early 1970's. Largely built over by extensions to the Tunnel Tech North factory in 1997. (5)
