Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an office development. A number of archaeological investigations had previously been undertaken within the parish and town of Chertsey, the combined results of which suggested that Chertsey had been a focus of human activity since the Palaeolithic. During the evaluation, an early medieval pit and stretches of two late medieval or early post-medieval ditches were revealed. One of the ditches was thought to have been a property boundary, whilst the other was thought to have been a drainage ditch. A row of stake-holes formed a fence-line along the southern side of the former; associated post-holes were also recorded. Artefacts found included an assemblage of pottery and ceramic building material which dated mainly from 1500-1800, but which included a residual fragment of Roman building material, and residual late medieval pottery thought to have been imported onto the site along with manure during agricultural activity. Further post-holes, stake-holes and a rectangular beam slot were also revealed. [AIP] |
