But next month, the public will have a rare opportunity to see one of Norfolk's most intriguing archaeological sites - Moot Hill.

Despite its significance, the site, near Wymondham, has had little archaeological investigations – only a few small digs in the 1930s, which were never fully recorded.

The site is believed to be a Norman ringwork - a fortified defensive structure - potentially linked to the D'Albini family, who were prominent nobles in Norfolk during medieval times.

It has been shut to the public for years........
