CAT Lecture Series 2025 – Colchester beyond the walls: Excavations at Colchester Garrison

Colchester beyond the walls: Excavations at Colchester Garrison

This richly illustrated talk explores nearly 20 years of fieldwork at the Colchester Garrison site – one of CAT’s largest and most significant projects in terms of understanding the Iron Age and Roman landscape outside of the walled city. From rural farmsteads to sprawling cemeteries, Ben reveals the archaeological landscape that once lay at the heart of Camulodunum, and how it contributes to our picture of life in Roman Britain.
