	Medieval English urban history - Norwich - Origins
		Despite the legendary associations of Norwich castle, there is no evidence of such a fortification in that locale until the Normans.
		It appears, therefore, that on the site of Norwich prior to circa 850 there stood either a collection of unrelated villages, of which those around the crossroads/marketplace – coming to be perceived as a single entity – were the most important.
		Since Westwyk appears to have been named because of its geographical position in relation to either Conesford or the crossroads/marketplace, Norwich probably originated as the name of the expansion area north of Conesford; the term "wic" was often used for subsidiary settlements, serving a larger settlement.
