Evaluation by T Collie of ASE with one trench revealing three apparent ditch termini, two of which contained fragmentary Iron Age/Early Roman pottery. Extension of the area revealed two additional gullies, neither of which provided any dating evidence. A second phase of evaluation is planned.

Second season of excavation undertaken by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS to improve understanding of the villa plan and its phasing, clarify the relationship between the approach road and the villa, and to gather information about the current state of preservation of the buried archaeological remains.

Watching brief by E Rowe of CA during soil stripping in advance of mineral extraction did not reveal any features or deposits of archaeological interest, but a small assemblage of prehistoric struck flint, a single sherd of abraded Roman pottery, and abraded sherds of post-medieval glazed earthenwares were recovered from the topsoil.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to the construction of a park and ride facility. A series of pits was revealed, including two very large intercutting pit complexes. A prehistoric date for the features was suspected, as both Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery were present, although intrusive Roman and medieval/post-medieval pottery and tile was also recovered. Further work is planned.

Evaluation by R Lambert of SCAU prior to the construction of a series of new school buildings revealed a number of features, including a concentrated in-situ scatter of Bronze Age pottery and struck and burnt flint of considerable interest. The wider area of the site revealed further Bronze Age features such as ditches and a number of undated features of a possibly similar date. Roman activity was also recorded in the form of ditches and pits, although the concentration of features was not dense, suggesting outlying activity related to an as yet unspecified site elsewhere in the vicinity.

Second season of excavation led by H Sheldon of BC and J Cotton of EEHAS, 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. Four trenches were opened in a line running north–south between those excavated in 2006.

Evaluation by N Cowlard and F Pemberton of EEHAS recovered flints and Roman pottery.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU in advance of the construction of a new school revealed residual stray flints of possible Neolithic date and a sherd of Late Roman pottery, but no features of archaeological interest.

Investigation by Time Team comprising geophysical survey, field survey and trenching identified a number of Roman features including several pits, one of which was over 3m deep, a kiln or oven, and that the Roman road connecting London and Brighton ran through the site and not along Tilburstow Hill Road, a short distance to the east.
