Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project

SHARP (the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project) is a long-term, independently run, multidisciplinary archaeological initiative based on the Sedgeford Hall Estate in northwest Norfolk, near the Heacham River.

Established in 1996, it is one of the largest independent archaeological projects in Britain, focused on investigating human settlement across prehistoric, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, medieval, and modern periods within Sedgeford parish.

The project's Boneyard Field site serves as a working base where thousands of volunteers have excavated, conducted research, and taken courses over the years.

Onsite participants can camp at the dig site, with camping fees bundled into a weekly rate that covers meals, hot drinks, showers, and toilets. Offsite rates are also available. Concessionary rates and bursary funding exist for students and the unwaged.
