Fred the Head, as the skeletal remains were nicknamed, were discovered on the site of an old flint mill close to the River Trent at Burton-upon-Trent by an off-duty special police constable out walking his dog.
Its contents are included in a short story written by Hugh McKie, a landscape artist who has also painted scenes to illustrate the piece, including a picture of how the old flint mill looked before it fell to ruin.
