Fye Bridge

The Thetford Castle, comprising an Iron Age hillfort and a medieval motte and bailey castle, features substantial earthworks located northwest of Castle Lane in Thetford, Norfolk. Excavations have revealed significant archaeological insights, indicating Iron Age occupation, as well as the castle's strategic role following the Norman Conquest.

The motte is characterized by a large circular mound encircled by a ditch, with a possible timber tower at its summit. The surrounding bailey, designed for defense and access, managed crucial crossings of the rivers Thet and Ouse, contributing to Thetford's historical prominence as one of England's largest towns.
