Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Monkton Lane, Farnham, Surrey, in advance of a proposed development of a multi-sports and leisure club facility. The work was undertaken between the 14th to 29th June 2010 on behalf of Nexus Heritage and their client Pellikaan Construction Ltd. Nineteen evaluation trenches measuring 40 metres in length sampled the archaeology across the site. The natural horizon varied in depth from 73.480 m OD in the south-east of the site and 75.015m OD in the north-west of the site. The evaluation trenches revealed forth-one archaeological features including evidence of prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval agricultural occupation. The majority of features formed linear ditches, possibly suggesting field boundaries or drainage ditches, however, a single human cremation was uncovered during the investigation. |
