Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of The Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA) at the Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by CgMs to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of development at The Croft, Ash, Surrey. Fourteen trenches were excavated targeted on anomalies identified in a geophysical survey. The archaeological evaluation has shown that the site is untruncated. The integrity of the natural horizon was good. The only features of note were a single Roman pit, possibly a tree throw, in Trench 5 and a possible medieval gully in Trench 13. There was no archaeological evidence of any other occupation apart from 19th / 20th century field boundaries in Trench 1. The anomalies identified in the geophysical survey could not be recognised by the trial trenching and it is highly probable that the survey results were affected by the various standing buildings and the remains of the numerous recent bonfires that scatter the site. |
