Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at Bellhouse Farm, Warren Lane, Stanway, Colchester, Essex, September to October 2023

This collection comprises site images and records, a report, spreadsheet data, and a vector drawing from an archaeological evaluation at Bellhouse Farm, Warren Lane, Stanway, Colchester, Essex. The works were conducted by Colchester Archaeological Trust between September and October 2023. The evaluation uncovered a historical landscape which appears to be sparser in archaeological remains relative to previous works near to the site. An Early Iron Age pit produced a substantial assemblage of finds, indicating that a settlement existed somewhere in the vicinity during this period. A Middle Iron Age pit and a ditch dating to the Middle Iron Age or Late Iron Age were also recorded. Other dated remains were the product of agricultural activity and consisted of a medieval or post-medieval gully and a late post-medieval or modern field boundary ditch.
