Celtic Houses
As well as small communities, there were also large settlements and heavily
defended forts. Colchester was one such large Celtic settlement.
18
Anglo Saxon Houses
We know what Saxons houses may have looked like from excavations of Anglo
Saxon villages, such as the one at West Stow in the east of England. Here, an early
Anglo-Saxon village (c.420-650AD) has been carefully reconstructed where it was
excavated. Using clues from the what was discovered, archeologists have
reconstructed the houses as they may have looked about 1,500 years ago.
We know that the Saxons built mainly in wood, although some of their stone
churches remain.
Anglo-Saxons houses were huts made of wood with roofs thatched with straw. Much
of Britain was covered with forests. The Saxons had plenty of wood to use.
