Epsom & Ewell

Deodar, The Ridge, Epsom

Watching brief by N Cowlard of EEHAS in an area where the precise location of Stane Street was not known revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest. A subsequent excavation of four test pits by EEHAS and SyAS along the eastern property boundary did not reveal any evidence of the road or roadside features, but the lack of subsoil in three of the trenches (and its presence in the fourth trench only at a greater depth) suggests that the site had been scraped in the past.

Hatch Furlong, Ewell

Training and community excavation led by H Sheldon of BC and J Cotton of EEHAS/Museum of London, on an area of higher ground overlooking the Roman settlement of Ewell and Stane Street and where traces of Roman activity were located in the 1970s. The evaluation revealed natural features of geological interest and a substantial number of features and finds of Roman date, together with traces of later agricultural and horticultural activity.
