An Iron Age settlement at Alpine Avenue, Tolworth

DUNCAN HAWKINS and SUE LEAVER

In February and March 1996 an archaeological excavation was undertaken at the former Government Buildings, Alpine Avenue, Tolworth, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. An evaluation at the site in 1991 revealed evidence of late Iron Age settlement, including a curvilinear slot, probably the foundation cut for the walls of a roundhouse. The main archaeological excavation recorded further Iron Age features including two additional roundhouses, one of which was stratigraphically earlier than the roundhouse found in 1991, though all are thought to be broadly contemporary. Both investigations revealed a number of pits and postholes, associated with evidence of craft activity. The pottery recovered from the site was badly degraded and fragmented. However, a late Iron Age date is thought most probable. The settlement can probably be characterized as a ‘farmstead’, a centre for agricultural and craft production. Possibly the site was a subsidiary or satellite settlement to the substantial contemporary enclosed settlement at Old Malden, just under 1km to the north-east.
