A previously unknown early medieval settlement has been unearthed in Suffolk during preparatory work for an offshore wind farm.
Archaeologists from MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology)-Wessex Archaeology discovered evidence of wooden longhouses near Friston. Though long rotted away, post holes indicate these substantial structures would have measured up to 19 metres tall and six metres wide. Research suggests they housed a small community during the Anglo-Saxon period, between 410 and 1066.
