Evaluation by J Stevenson of ASE. Brief continuation of the evaluation largely undertaken and completed in 2004; see the 2004 round-up (SyAC 92, 279) for details of the results.

Evaluation by E Glass of OA beginning in 2004 in advance of residential development. This has revealed evidence for concentrations of mainly Late Iron Age to Early Roman activity, with the potential for at least one settlement of Iron Age date existing in the areas examined. A low-density spread of features was encountered throughout much of the large area examined, suggesting landscape exploitation from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period.

Evaluation and excavation by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS, as part of a wider programme of work designed to gather together and reassess all available information of the villa site excavated by Lowther in the 1920s, and accompanying clay pits and tileworks surveyed and excavated by J Hampton in the 1960s. The work located the site of the villa, and a trench close to its frontage located the approach road to the villa. Two spoil heaps near the villa, and a spoil heap for the detached bath-house, together with the general location of this building, were also found.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU to provide information to inform management decisions regarding the Scheduled earthworks in the church graveyard, specifically in relation to a proposal to extend the graveyard. The evaluation involved the excavation of a trench in the area immediately to the north of a substantial, partially infilled ditch. This was in use during the medieval period but follows, at least in part, the course of a smaller ditch of Roman or earlier origin which lies immediately to the north of the site of a Roman building.

Watching brief by D Hartley of SyAS during residential redevelopment recovered a Roman amphora handle.

Evaluation by A Hood of FA in advance of residential redevelopment revealed a number of post-medieval drainage ditches, and one definite and one probable pit of early Romano-British date, both of which appeared to be isolated and not part of a nucleus of activity.

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.
