The enclosure at Tasburgh is the least well understood of all of Norfolk Archaeological Trust's  sites.

 

Excavations in the 1930s suggest the ditch was up to three metres deep, but who built it is still a mystery. It may be an Iron Age fort, similar in date to Bloodgate Hill, but the discovery of middle – late Saxon material near the church suggests it may be later in date, perhaps a fortified centre or ‘burh’ to defend the community from Viking invaders. Lying in the beautiful Tas valley, this site has secrets to tell.

​

In 2017 Norfolk Archaeological Trust,  obtained lottery funding to carry out survey and research into the site and the village at large.  The whole village community were invited to take part and the results of the “Imagined Land “ project can be found at
