Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological remains deriving from several phases of activity were recorded during a staged programme of archaeological works carried out between 1992 and 2009 at Beddington Sewage Farm, in the London Borough of Sutton. The earliest features were a series of palaeochannels, which probably represent the course of a former shallow tributary or subsidiary channel of the river Wandle. The first indications of a human presence were provided by small quantities of Early Neolithic pottery and lithic material found in later features, and a tree-throw hollow that contained chronologically diagnostic flintworking waste of the same period. Peterborough Ware pottery, worked flint and a flint mace-head were also recovered from several small Middle Neolithic pits. Field system ditches, enclosures and droveways were laid out and modified throughout the Middle to Late Bronze Age. Other later Bronze Age features comprised pits, waterholes, and a single unurned cremation grave. Unexpectedly, given the presence of a known villa immediately southeast of the excavated site, there was a distinct paucity of Romano-British remains. Later features included ditches, of uncertain function, which contained medieval pottery. Traces of activity potentially associated with Beddington deer park and the Carew Manor estate included numerous pieces of dressed stone, possibly from the former manor house or a related building, found in a post-medieval ditch, and a pit containing fallow deer bone. Subsequent phases of enclosure were evidenced by numerous ditches representing 18th or 19th century agricultural land divisions, some of which may have fossilised the footprint of a deer course, as had been previously suggested. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
