Thanks to funding provided by the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of our Releasing the Sutton Hoo Story project, we’ve been able to train our volunteers to study this landscape’s geophysics using an earth resistance meter.
We are currently working in Garden Field- an area of the site adjacent to the High Hall exhibition. During the construction of the High Hall exhibition building in the early 2000s an Anglo-Saxon folk cemetery was discovered. It was also in Garden Field that the Bromeswell Bucket was discovered so who knows what else lies beneath our feet in this part of the landscape?
