Wrestlingworth Lower School, Church lane, Wrestlingworth: Archaeological, Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis and Publication

In April 2002 Albion Archaeology attended the excavation of ground-works and footings in advance of the construction of a new classroom at Wrestlingworth Lower School. The remains of a possible early medieval post-built structure or fence corner were identified. These remains may have been associated with the medieval village of Wrestlingworth. However, the conditions, size and nature of the construction work prohibited a clearer understanding of their function and extent. The remains also appeared to have been heavily truncated by modern activity and were in a moderate state of preservation. The identified post-medieval structural remains probably represent the foundations for an earlier, probably 19th-century, phase of the school buildings. They were relatively well preserved.
