Excavations at the Roman settlement in Ewell, 1970-2: Ewell Grove and Grove Cottage
FRANK PEMBERTON with JEREMY HARTE
This report covers two excavations. The first was at Ewell Grove School, between West Street and High Street in Ewell, where Middle and Late Bronze Age features were found beneath an area of Roman occupation. The next use of the site began in the mid-1st century AD with a drainage gully laid out at the beginning of Roman settlement in Ewell. This was succeeded in the 2nd century by a boundary ditch, which was afterwards backfilled and cut by several large pits in the late 3rd century, a period that is known to have seen changes in the economy of the roadside town. The second excavation was at Grove Cottage, near the route of Stane Street, where traces of a 1st century building were found with metalled surfaces nearby.
