Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Thorpe C of E School, The Bence, Rosemary Lane, Thorpe, Surrey, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 501927 168711. The site is occupied by an infant school built in the mid to late 20th century and is located centrally within the Thorpe village between the M25 to the west, the M3 to the south and the A320 Staines Road to the east. The school is located off Rosemary Lane and is bounded by Midway Avenue to the west, Western Avenue to the north and residential development to the east and south. Planning permission (12/0575) has been granted by Surrey County Council for the construction of a new single storey hall and front entrance and new classroom block with associated external works including the laying out of 16 new parking spaces on condition that a programme of archaeological work was undertaken. Two Trenches were excavated within the footprint of the new classroom block. Trench 1 revealed a single northwest southeast aligned ditch, which contained pottery dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1100-700BC) accompanied by numerous pieces of burnt flint indicating the location of settlement with possible domestic or light industrial activity occurring nearby. Trench 2 revealed a waterborne deposit, which may mark the location of an old river channel or possibly the edge of the flood plain associated the Chertsey branch of the River Bourne. It is clear from analysis of the Surrey Historical Environment Record (HER) that the Site is located in a rich prehistoric archaeological landscape and that any development on the site will have a detrimental effect on the underlying archaeological remains identified and further mitigation will be required ahead of development to ensure their preservation by record.
