Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of the A13 road corridor identified two sites of interest. In the vicinity of Ponds Farm, gravel deposits of Pleistocene origin were identified as stratigraphically equivalent to deposits at Sandy Lane that had previously produced two mammoth skeletons, and to other Thames terrace sites that had produced important Lower Palaeolithic artefact assemblages. No artefacts were found, but important environmental data was recovered. A small late pre-Roman Iron Age and early Roman farmstead of the 1st century AD was identified near Ship Lane. The site included the truncated remains of two round-houses, and a series of substantial settlement enclosure ditches. The local rectilinear landscape may well have originated in the Late Iron Age or early Roman period. The farmstead appeared to be uninhabited by the early 2nd century AD, but a renewed period of activity occurred in the first half of the 5th century, pottery and features being discovered. [Au(adp)]
