Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out at the former Bayer site located between Parsonage Street and Colchester Road, Halstead.. Ten Trenches were excavated across the 0.55 hectare development area. Residual Roman finds were recovered but no evidence relating to the perceived Saxon origins of Halstead was identified. Medieval remains were confined to the north-west corner of the development area. A large ditch aligned north-south probably formed the medieval eastern boundary to St. Andrew's churchyard. Pottery dated to the 14th century was recovered from the lower fills of the ditch and from a group of pits located to its east. These pits were probably associated with property fronting onto Colchester Road. Buildings on this frontage are depicted on the Bois Hall estate map of c. 1625. Further pitting occurred in the same area in the 16th-17th century In the 18th or early 19th century St Andrew's Lodge was constructed in the north-west corner of the site, and two cottages were constructed to the east of No. 8 Colchester Road. The archaeological remains of these buildings correlate well with documentary and cartographic records. From the mid-19th century the interior of the site became progressively built up, including the construction of the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House in 1850-1. The Quaker burial ground was found to extend to the Parsonage Street frontage. One post-medieval burial was excavated that appeared to pre-date the Quaker burials, but the Quaker burials themselves were not investigated. All burials were removed by professional undertakers for reburial elsewhere.
