An ongoing community archaeology project in southeast Suffolk, known as Rendlesham Revealed , has uncovered a royal hall “of international importance” dating back 1,400 years. Termed the “Hall of the First Kings of East Anglia,” it was first identified by aerial photography in 2015 by an earlier pilot community project.
Excavations over the summer of 2022 revealed the remains of a timber hall in a settlement area of 123 acres (49.8 hectares), measuring 23 x 10 meters (75.4 x 32.8 feet).
