Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project (SHARP)

Sedgeford, Norfolk, UK Sedgeford, Norfolk, United Kingdom

Established in 1996, SHARP is one of the largest independent archaeological projects in Britain and is firmly rooted in the local community. The 2023 season will continue excavations of a series of Anglo-Saxon malting buildings (see CA 379). New malting kilns were identified last season, and this year the project aims to investigate more.
