Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out with the purpose of investigating the character and history of a hollow way, part of which had recently been backfilled during landscaping connected with the re-location of Downs Road, a public right of way. The site lay within an area which had been laid out as a country estate in the 18th century. The evaluation aimed to establish whether or not the hollow way had formed part of Roman Stane Street, which passed nearby. In the surrounding area, Mesolithic and Neolithic flints, Bronze Age round barrows, Iron Age field systems and occupation sites and Roman artefacts had been recorded. Two Saxon burials had also been found when the foundations for Juniperhill were excavated. During the evaluation, no conclusive evidence for Stane Street was revealed. A gravel path of probable post-medieval origin was observed, and flints which may have related to a second path were noted. Part of the hollow way was revealed, which provided evidence of its recent history, and which indicated that all traces of previous use of the lower part of Downs Road were likely to have been destroyed throughout its length. Post-medieval artefacts and a possible Palaeolithic flint were recovered. [AIP]
