Prehistoric, Roman and Post-Medieval Settlement at Glyn House, Ewell, Surrey

Work in advance of property development by Oxford Archaeology (OA) on behalf of Try Homes Ltd., at Glyn House, Ewell, Surrey allowed the excavation of prehistoric, roman and post-medieval remains. Activity of Mesolithic date was identified by the presence of residual mircoliths. Two ring-ditches and a tree throw hole in the SE corner of the site indicated an area of early Bronze Age or late Neolithic activity. Lying to the NW of the late Neolithic / early Bronze Age activity was evidence of Roman settlement, including a dense band of intercutting pits, part of a post-built structure and several deep pits, possibly well shafts. Overlying the Roman settlement was a Post-Medieval structure which may have been the remains of the rectory and a number of gar5den features.
