Caistor St Edmund, Archaeological village in Norfolk, England
Caistor St Edmund stretches along the River Tas, containing extensive Roman ruins and medieval structures across its 6.55 square kilometers of land.
The settlement, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, consisted of 26 households divided between Ralph de Beaufour and Bury St Edmunds Abbey.
The Grade II listed parish church of Saint Edmund incorporates Roman stones in its construction and features medieval wall paintings within its interior.
The archaeological site provides a dedicated car park marked by brown signs on the minor road connecting Norwich to Stoke Holy Cross.
The Roman town of Venta Icenorum remains one of three Roman settlements in Britain that were never built over through subsequent centuries.
