Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief undertaken on the controlled strip of the site of the proposed Merrow Park and Ride facility at Epsom Road, Merrow revealed a total of 57 features of archaeological interest including 15 pits, 35 post holes and a handful of stakeholes. Many of the pits were revealed to be of late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date and included one very large pit 4m wide which is thought to have been dug as a chalk pit and a number of very cleanly cut straight-sided pits; many of the post holes were revealed to be of modern date. Despite the small size of the site, an interesting assemblage of finds has been recovered including sherds of pottery of Bronze Age and Iron Age date, numerous pieces of worked flint of Neolithic to late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date and fragments of spindlewhorls and wattle-impressed daub providing evidence for activity of Neolithic to Iron Age date in the vicinity.
