Since 2008, Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service have been investigating the royal Anglo-Saxon settlement at Rendlesham. Archaeological investigations continued with volunteers over three seasons of fieldwork from 2021-2024 throughout the Deben valley, as part of the community archaeology project, Rendlesham Revealed funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Please note, the Rendlesham site is on private farmland and has no public access.
Explore the results of the community fieldwork, with video interviews, year-by-year discoveries at the excavations, articles on the post-excavation analysis and results of surveys.
