BRANDON, market town, West Suffolk, England, on the Little Ouse or Brandon river, 861m. N.N.E. of London by the L.N.E. railway. Pop. of parish (1931) 5,768. Extensive deposits of flint are worked in the neighbourhood, and the work of the "flint-knappers" has had its counterpart here from early times. Close to Brandon, but in Norfolk across the river, at the village of Weeting, are the so-called Grimes' Graves, which are neolithic flint workings. The pits were sunk through the overlying chalk to the depth of 20 to 6o ft., and numbered 254 in all. Passages branched out from them, and, among other remains, picks of deer horn were discovered. The town has an Early English church and a 17th-century grammar school. There is some carrying trade by the Little Ouse.
