'The only comparable feast was held near Northampton in the Bronze Age (2,500-750BC) where the discovery of mounds of pips pointed to a pudding course absent at Ferrybridge.'
"pips". are pips, "pits"?
a pudding with some sort of fruit with seeds? or cherry pits?
I don't want to think about a mound of 'pips", tho...
Pits, fruit seeds, etc.
