Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology undertook an evaluation of land to the rear of 65 Kingswood Lane, Warlingham, on 1st April 2008. The evaluation was carried out as part of the planning process prior to a proposed residential development of this small single-plot site. The site lies within an area of known archaeological importance. To the north is King''s Wood a Romano-British settlement, enclosed by a small semi-circular earthwork, which was partially excavated by R.I. Little during 1955 and1959. Excavations in 1959 discovered Roman burial-urns and a small 1st century cemetery alongside a short stretch of metalled road. A complex of ancient roads and track ways connect this site and others along the clay capped chalk ridges linking the site to ancient trade routes. Two evaluation trenches were excavated each measuring approximately 8m x 1.5m. The first trench was excavated running northeast-southwest within the footprint of the proposed new build, the second trench lay at right-angles to the first and was located over the hammer-head of the access driveway. No archaeological remains were found:. There was a straightforward sequence of deposits across the site, with a rich humic garden soil (c 0.3m deep) overlying the slightly weathered sterile surface of the natural clay with flints at c. 170m AOD. During the course of the evaluation the site was metal detected and a selection of modern small finds were recovered including a base metal copy of a one-third guinea, the original which was introduced in 1774, (although it may be that this particular example incorrectly copied an earlier design possibly of coin types of the reign of William and Mary/William III (1689-1702)). Although the replica coin is of some numismatic interest it probably represents just a lost chance find and may be of relatively recent date; its provenance here is not of any obvious archaeological significance. No further archaeological work is proposed in relation to this application.
