Full Description

A possible Iron Age to Roman settlement was found directly to the east of Great Wratting village. Although only one IA and one Roman ditch were dated, there was 32 pottery sherds (0.3kg) recovered. In the same location a relatively dense quantity of late Saxon to early medieval features was found largely in one trench. Collectively there were 54 pottery sherds (0.7kg). The Saxon/medieval faunal assemblage from Great Wratting (WTG 039) is small, consisting of primary processing waste of largely adult animals, indicative of general settlement waste rather than any specific husbandry regime.
