Description
One of the reconstructed houses at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village, an archaeological site and an open air museum located near to West Stow in Suffolk, eastern England. Evidence for intermittent human habitation at the site stretches from the Mesolithic through the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British period, but it is best known for the small village that existed on the site between the mid-5th century and the early 7th century CE, during the early Anglo-Saxon period. During this time, around 70 sunken-featured buildings were constructed on the site, along with 8 halls and a number of other features. Subsequently abandoned, the area became farmland in the Late Medieval.

Fascinating description and a great photo! L

Thank you, Shirley. I took this shot several years ago and, to be honest, had forgotten about the visit. It was a fascinating site, although small (and extremely cold when we visited).
