New Dig at Caistor by Norwich


A team of archaeologists from the University of Nottingham are to commence a dig at the Roman town of Venta Icenorum at Caistor St Edmund, just outside Norwich, looking for evidence of occupation in the Iron Age.

The site lies just a mile or so from the ploughed up remains of Arminghall Henge (circa 3200 BCE) and is now thought to have been of much greater significance in the pre-Roman period than had hitherto been supposed.
