Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological excavation at Thorpe Church of England School, The Bence, Rosemary Lane, Thorpe, Surrey, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 501927 168711. Planning permission (12/0575) has been granted by Surrey County Council for the construction of a new single storey hall with front entrance and new classroom block including new parking spaces on condition that a programme of archaeological work was undertaken. An initial archaeological trial trench evaluation identified a prehistoric ditch containing pottery dating to the Late Bronze Age and the County Archaeologist advised an excavation was undertaken within the development area. Prehistoric activity was attested by two north-west to south-east aligned Bronze Age ditches surrounding an area with several large rubbish pits. The pits were filled with deliberately dumped occupation debris including degraded pottery, animal bone, charcoal and fired clay indicative of settlement or industrial activity nearby. The northernmost ditch was located on slightly higher ground and may have retained some significance as a boundary division in the wider landscape. An alignment of vegetation hollows and tree boles appear to respect this marker and were all found to contain heavily degraded fragments of Bronze Age pottery. The alignment was re-established during the Romano-British period and the base of a Romano-British vessel was recovered from a small 'v-shaped' ditch that cut away the earlier Bronze Age boundary division.
