Hillfort in Norfolk. This hillfort is difficult to interpret. It is roughly oval in plan surrounded by earth ramparts. It stands within the village of Upper Tasburgh, and Tasburgh church lies within the fort near its southern side. The best preserved ramparts lie on the northern side where there is still an ancient hedgerow. Excavation has shown that the fort was inhabited in the Middle Saxon Period (650-850 AD) up to 1200 AD.
Note: Illegal nighthawkers' treasure hunting at Tasburgh earthworks leaves it full of holes. More in the comments
