Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of 7 trenches was undertaken by Archaeology South-East at Carshalton War Memorial Hospital, Sutton, between the 1st and 3rd July 2009 and was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of their client. The underlying natural of chalk and brickearth was encountered between the heights of 56.25m OD in the north of the site (trench 7) and 58.81m OD in the south (trench 1). The topography was of gardens, gently sloping from south to north. The evaluation identified three main phases of activity: early prehistoric, Middle Iron Age and Early Roman. The early prehistoric included the remains of a possible post-built structure of Mesolithic date in the north of the site. Elsewhere, finds of residual flint work were recovered of Mesolithic, Early Neolithic and Bronze Age date. The Middle Iron Age and Early Roman phases mirrored the activity identified on the Ashcombe House site to the immediate south, with an apparent hiatus in occupation during the Late Iron Age. Middle Iron Age features identified included a grain-storage pit and two pits containing structured deposits of placed human long bones and an inverted horse skull. The identification of a possible Mesolithic structure and Middle Iron Age features is rare in the wider vicinity of the site and in Greater London in general. The evaluation was able to demonstrate that the area around the former hospital buildings in the centre of the site had been terraced into the gentle south to north slope, including the raising of the ground level by at least 1.5m in the area of the car park to the north.
