An evaluation and excavation of Iron Age and Roman occupation at Mansfield Road, RAF Chessington, 1994
LEIGH J TORRANCE AND TESS DURDEN
A series of evaluation trenches and an excavation at Mansfield Road, Chessington, revealed a number of ditches and associated finds. A small assemblage of pottery dating to the mid-Late Iron Age through to the 3rd century AD suggests continuing activity on the site over this period. The small number and poor condition of the finds indicate that the site was perhaps an impoverished farmstead or was peripheral to a more densely settled area. A number of well-preserved grain samples recovered from the site provide an insight into crop growing and processing for this region.
