Overview

History & significance

Romano-British Settlement at Chittering is a scattered archaeological site in Cambridgeshire consisting of Romano-British pottery and artefactual remains distributed across farmland. The settlement dates to the Roman period, roughly the first to fourth centuries AD, and represents domestic occupation of the kind that characterised rural life across the province of Britannia. The site is identified through surface finds and recorded archaeological investigation rather than substantial surviving structures, which is typical of low-status rural settlements of this era. Its presence contributes to understanding the distribution and character of Romano-British settlement patterns in the East Anglian landscape.
