Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the Surrey County Archaeological Unit on the area of a proposed Park and Ride facility at Epsom Road, Merrow. The work was recommended by a written scheme of investigation which identified the site as having good archaeological potential. Six features of archaeological interest were identified within four of the thirteen trial trenches excavated. The features included two very large pit features (probable chalk pits), two small pits and two gullies. One of the gullies is thought to be natural in origin; the other five features are of probable prehistoric date. The proposed development involves the reduction of the site by 0.7m, therefore it is recommended that an archaeological watching brief be undertaken on the controlled strip of the area of high archaeological potential around trenches 6, 9 and 12. |
