Oxford Archaeology carried out an evaluation and subsequent excavation at The Bittoms, Kingston upon Thames, in 2001. The earliest activity took the form of a scatter of pits containing pottery dated to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. A single pit was dated to the Early to Middle Saxon period. Evidence for medieval settlement took the form of pits, a well and probable tenement boundary ditches. The eastern part of the site was subsequently utilised as a market garden. In the western part of the site, remains of post-medieval properties fronting The Bittoms were uncovered.
