The results of episodic fieldwork conducted just over fifty years ago on a dip-slope spur of North Downs chalk two kilometres south-south-east of Ewell are described. The spur had witnessed intermittent activity in the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, which intensified from the middle of the first millennium BC and culminated in the establishment of a farming settlement occupied in the decades either side of the Roman conquest. A number of pits and deeper shafts were excavated, which produced a wide range of finds, including: an assemblage of Late Iron Age/Romano-British pottery; fragments of greensand rotary querns; and several objects associated with weaving (some triangular clay loomweights, chalk spindlewhorls and a bone gouge). The remains of a human infant and parts of several articulated and semi-articulated animal carcasses were located together with a late-first- or early-second-century urned cremation burial of a young man accompanied by nine inscribed bone gaming counters and a tenth made of pottery. Graffiti lightly scratched on the plain reverses of six of the bone counters appear to denote ownership by one `Remus', a personal name attested in Gaul. A second, separate cremation comprised bones of sheep/goat placed in a complete greyware jar. Later Roman activity is evinced by the presence of quantities of mainly unstratified pottery, building material and small finds of iron and copper alloy including a second-century plate brooch of shoe-sole form and a small quantity of third- and fourth-century coins.
