Spong Hill is an Anglo-Saxon cemetery site located south of North Elmham in Norfolk, England.
Excavation of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery also revealed extensive occupation evidence: late Iron Age and Roman enclosures and field boundaries, an early Roman kiln, and a small settlement of 'sunken huts' and post-hole buildings possibly contemporary with the cemetery.
The full scale excavation between 1972 and 1981 was directed by Dr Catherine Hills and funded by the Department of the Environment.
