Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on the proposed route of the Kedington to Boyton Hall Anglian Water Pipeline, Great Wratting, Suffolk (mid point NGR TL 688 476). The evaluation took place between 20th August-5th September 2018 and the 21st-22nd of March 2019. Commissioned by Anglian Water. The aim was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed route of the pipeline. The Initial evaluation proposed 31 trial-trenches, and three further trenches (Trenches 32, 33 and 34), all negative, were added to the eastern end of the scheme. Archaeology was identified in twelve of the 26 excavated trenches, with a clear focus of activity being centred around the Church of St. Mary at Little Wratting (WTL 002) in Trenches 19 and 20. The topography of the site may have had a direct influence on the land-use, with the activity located on the freer draining natural geology. The earliest activity dated to the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age and related to three ditches at the eastern end of Trench 20. Two of these ditches form the corner of a square enclosure, the majority of which lies beyond the limits of the trench. Residually deposited pottery and flints were also recovered from features of later date, but this still attests to this presence of a 'background' of prehistoric activity. A later Saxon (AD850-1065) gully was also identified, within Trench 19, which may be structural in nature, but is difficult to assess given the limited window provided by evaluation trenching. The core of the archaeological activity dated to the earlier medieval period (AD1066-1400) and was clustered around the high ground to the west of the Church of St. Mary at Little Wratting (WTL 002), representing a small settlement with associated agricultural landscape. Several undated features due to their location and appearance have been allocated to the medieval period, although these too may have had an earlier origin.
