History
Archaeological investigations have discovered evidence of settlement from the prehistoric to the medieval periods, including 3 large stone axe heads dating from the neolithic or early Bronze Age discovered together in a pit.
Bloodmoor Hill, located between Carlton Colville and Pakefield, was the site of settlement in the 2nd and 3rd centuries and the 7th and 8th centuries. The Saxon period consisted of a relatively dense settlement as well as a cemetery which included at least one rich barrow burial. Artifacts were discovered in the cemetery in the 18th Century and the site was the subject of archaeological investigations between 1998 and 2006.
At the Domesday survey Carlton Colville was known as Carletuna or Karletun. It had a population of 45 households and a tax value of 4½ geld and was part of the estate of Earl Hugh of Chester.
A moated site south of Carlton Colville is believed to be the site of a medieval manor and is a scheduled monument.
