Hi Julie

Beaver was found at Castle Acre (Lawrence 1982) and Micklemoor Hill 
(Clark and Fell) in Norfolk. The references are below.

Lawrence P. 1982. Animal bone. In. Coad J G and Streeten A D F. 
Excavations at Castle Acre Castle, Norfolk 1972-7, country house and 
castle of the Norman earls of Surrey. Archaeological Journal. 139. 275-96

Clark J G D and Fell C I. 1953. The Early Iron Age site at Micklemoor 
Hill, West Harling, Norfolk, and its pottery. Proceedings of the 
Prehistoric Society. 19. 1-36

I wish I could claim I just knew this info but the credit must go to 
Umberto and Tessa's brilliant regional review.

Hope that helps
