History of Dunwich traced back further than ever beforepublished at 13:02 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2016
Experts who have spent the last three years studying the lost Suffolk city of Dunwich, have traced its history further back than ever before.
Bill Jenman, project manager with Touching the Tide, external, a three-year scheme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, says: "We found iron age pottery, that's like 500BC, and right back to some neolithic flint work that's probably 1,000 - 1,500BC.
"I think we can push the story of Dunwich certainly back to the Iron Age, we know people were here back into the Stone Age and we know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period."
