Summary

Description
English: Sheep on Tasburgh Iron Age Fort, near to Tasburgh, Norfolk, Great Britain.

Two sheep wonder what I am doing.

The southern and eastern side, aswell as the south eastern side has been eroded away by time but the central north and western part of the site is preserved (sort of!).

The site is owned by the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, it is roughly oval in plan surrounded by earth ramparts. Standing on a oval piece of land surrounded by the river Tas and Hempnall stream. The Trust bought 16 acres (6.5 hectares) of the site in 1994 mainly to prevent further plough damage to the western ramparts. The best preserved ramparts lie on the northern side where there is still an ancient hedgerow.

The date is unknown but there has been settlement here for thousands of years, excavations have found the site was abandonded by 1200AD.
