Archaeological site Venta Icenorum Roman Town in South Norfolk

You're standing at Venta Icenorum, or what's left of it. In Roman times this was the capital of the Iceni, the tribe that lived in the flatlands and marshes of Norfolk. The name roughly means marketplace of the Iceni. Have a look around at the earth banks. They still trace the edge of the old town. Just nearby runs the River Tas.
