Epsom & Ewell

Manor Hospital, Epsom

A watching brief on the redevelopment of this site was maintained by SCAU, for Beezer Homes, following on from the evaluation by TVAS 1996. The conditions of the watching brief were not ideal but seemed to confirm the results of the earlier evaluation that no evidence of a former moat around the manor house survives.

St. Mary’s No. 5 Churchyard, Ewell

Excavation by C Orton of University College London revealed evidence for the presence of possibly two Roman buildings adjacent to Stane Street. Numerous domestic finds including glazed Roman pottery, a large quern fragment, animal bones, a whetstone and about thirty coins were recovered. A burial of probable early Roman date was also revealed, which could provide useful information about the limits of settlement in the area at this time. (346)

Waterloo House, High Street, Epsom

Watching brief by K Sabel of PCA on geotechnical trial pits. Evidence for the 17th-18th century origins of the building were revealed, including earlier foundations, drainage and timber flooring. Remains pre-dating Waterloo House were also revealed, in the form of surviving post-medieval layers and residual medieval building material. Considerable evidence of Saxon/Early Medieval occupation was recovered also.

Nonsuch High School, Cheam

Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU revealed a pit of prehistoric, probably Bronze Age, date likely to have been associated with either food preparation or possibly metal smelting; the frequency of worked flint found in the spoil heaps confirms the potential for further prehistoric finds in the area.
