St. Mary’s No. 5 Churchyard, Ewell

Excavation by C Orton of University College London revealed evidence for the presence of possibly two Roman buildings adjacent to Stane Street. Numerous domestic finds including glazed Roman pottery, a large quern fragment, animal bones, a whetstone and about thirty coins were recovered. A burial of probable early Roman date was also revealed, which could provide useful information about the limits of settlement in the area at this time. (346)

Oliver Court, Egham

Test pitting by S Johnson of JSAC prior to redevelopment revealed features of potential early medieval date, although firm conclusions as to the nature of the site were difficult to make owing to the limited nature of the exercise.

St Nicholas Parish Church, Great Bookham

Ground penetrating radar survey by W McCann, following a dowsing exercise by S Fortescue. The original work had postulated a Saxon church below the nave of the existing structure. The survey identified high reflections in areas corresponding in part with the north and south walls of the supposed buried structure, but concluded that further investigative work would be required to confirm any hypotheses.
