Lost Medieval Villages Emerge Near Norfolk Wind Farm
6 Apr
Summary
- Two lost medieval villages were discovered at a wind farm site.
- Artefacts from Roman times were found during excavations.
- The discoveries were made near Dereham in Norfolk.
Two long-lost medieval villages have been unearthed at the location of a planned wind farm project in Norfolk. Archaeologists made the significant discovery while excavating a new cable route for RWE's Vanguard West, East, and Boreas wind farms. The area near Dereham yielded not only evidence of medieval settlements but also artefacts dating back to the Roman period. These findings are expected to shed considerable light on the region's extensive history. The excavated cables will eventually transport electricity generated by the wind farms, spanning nearly 40 miles from Happisburgh to Necton, to supply the National Grid.
