Castle Hill - information board
Image: © Colin Vosper Taken: 17 Apr 2009
This excellent information board in metal with raised lettering and diagrams for illustration explains that the earthworks are the work of two groups of people. The first group were the Iron Age people of 500 BC and many years later this same hill was used by the Normans in 1070 AD as the location of a Norman Castle. The information board contains a 'Thetford Time Line' starting at around 40 AD with the arrival of the Romans and continues through to the celebrations of 1999 when it was the 800th anniversary of the appointment of the town's first town mayor. It is an excellent and informative information board and one that is hard to vandalise.
