Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land to the east of St Michael's Church, Mickleham, Surrey.The archaeological investigation was conducted in advance of the proposed redevelopment of the site as an extension to the existing Church of England burial ground. A total of seven evaluation trenches were excavated over the site representing 5% of the development area. Un-truncated natural deposits of river terrace sands and gravels were encountered in the base of six of the evaluation trenches, while in one trench the upper levels of the natural deposit had been horizontal truncated away probably by post-medieval quarrying. Four of the trenches yielded significant archaeological features and these include a possible Roman boundary ditch and several possible Roman era post-holes. Late medieval/ early post-medieval pottery and CBM was recovered from a sub-soil layer. |
