Excavations by Oxford Archaeology at Glyn House, Ewell, revealed prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval remains. Activity of Mesolithic date was identified by the presence of residual microliths. Two concentric curvilinear gullies (one of which contained a barbed-and-tanged flint arrowhead) and a tree-throw hole in the south-eastern corner of the site indicated an area of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age activity. Lying to the north-west of the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age activity was evidence of Roman settlement, including a dense band of intercutting pits, part of a post-built structure and several deep pits (not fully excavated because of their depth), possibly well shafts. Overlying the Roman settlement was a post-medieval structure, which may have been the remains of the rectory, and a number of garden features.
