Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2012 at the request of Martin Grant Homes at 2-4A Rotherfield Road, Carshalton, London Borough of Sutton. In compliance with an approved WSI (CA 2012), two areas totalling 400m² were excavated within the development area, and a watching brief was maintained across the remainder of the site during development. The excavations revealed paired prehistoric ditches in both areas, which probably marked the boundary to a double-ditched enclosure. The only dating evidence recovered from the ditches was an assemblage of over 200 pieces of worked flint, of probable Neolithic or Bronze Age date. Two ditches of probable medieval date were also recorded, as was at least one ditch representing a boundary feature to Carshalton Park, an extensive 18th-century landscaped park of which very little now survives. This document presents a quantification and assessment of the evidence recovered from the excavation. It considers the evidence collectively in its local, regional and national context, and presents an updated project design for limited further research to bring the results to appropriate publication. |
