| Abstract: |
A small-scale excavation and a watching brief were carried out at a proposed development site which lay close to the historic core of Egham, and where archaeological features and medieval deposits had been revealed during an evaluation. The excavation revealed a Late Bronze Age gully, a pit which was probably of Late Iron Age date but which contained Late Bronze Age as well as Late Iron Age pottery, and a number of 12th-15th century features. The medieval remains included a cobbled yard surface, a midden, post-holes and a pit. A cobbled surface associated with 15th-17th century pottery was noted. A probable soakaway and foundation walls of post-medieval date and two wells, one of which dated from c. 1780-1820, were also recorded. Three fragments of Roman pottery were recovered. Infilled cellars were observed during the watching brief. It was concluded that the evidence of continuity of occupation at the plot from the 12th century to the present day was of particular interest. [AIP] |
