Walton Oaks, Walton-on-the-Hill

Evaluation by T Howe of AOC, on behalf of Pfizer Ltd, of a site to be redeveloped for offices. The evaluation revealed features possibly associated with former garden layouts. The westernmost trench contained the remains of an extremely large ditch, which contained no dating evidence; a sherd of abraded Roman greyware pottery was collected from the fill during machining but this is likely to be residual. In the southernmost trench brick built foundations, probably 19th century in date, were revealed. Sondages were excavated in all trenches under the supervision of Dr Martin Bates, to test for Palaeolithic horizons, but none were seen.
