A stately 'forest' was revealed there amid unearthings. In 1979, a store of Romano-British metalwork, known as the Thetford treasure was found simply outside Thetford. Dating from the mid-fourth century AD, this accumulate is a gathering of 33 recorded spoons, twenty gold finger rings, four pendants, a few pieces of jewelry and a 2" gold clasp delineating a moving satyr. They are right now in plain view and under curation at the British Museum. The starting point of the name is hazy.
