Abstract:		 The report describes the archaeological excavation carried out in the rear gardens of Mitcham Vicarage. Two areas were opened, located on the basis of the results of an earlier evaluation. The main area (A) located several recut boundary ditches aligned east--west approximately parallel to Church Road, along with a small number of postholes, pits and a gully. The majority of the features were of late Saxon/early medieval and medieval date (eleventh--fourteenth centuries), with some late post-medieval (eighteenth century) and modern disturbance. The smaller area (B) was located to recover the remains of a horse burial found during the evaluation. Although this burial contained medieval pottery, the presence of other items, such as coal, and the form of the horseshoes, shows that it is late post-medieval in date. A small number of sherds of Roman pottery and a tegula fragment, and a single sherd of middle Saxon pottery, point to some activity of these periods in the vicinity, although not necessarily anything more than manuring of farmland. Specialist reports include
