Evaluation by S Holden of PCA recovered residual prehistoric flints and Bronze Age and Roman pottery, but later post-medieval deposits immediately overlying the natural horizon suggests the site was subject to landscaping in the 19th century.

Third and fourth seasons of excavation led by H Sheldon of BC and J Cotton of EEHAS, on an area of higher ground overlooking the Roman settlement of Ewell and Stane Street and where traces of Roman activity were located in the 1970s. The aim of both seasons of work was to build on investigation of areas examined during previous seasons, and define more clearly the areas dug in the 1970s; both revealed further prehistoric, Roman, and later deposits. (409, 414, 422)

Watching brief by N Cowlard and S Nelson of EEHAS revealed a small group of struck flints and some redeposited Roman pottery but mostly evidence of post-medieval and modern activity across the site.

Evaluation by S Holden of PCA revealed evidence of prehistoric activity in the form of residual finds, a probable gully of early Roman date, and post-medieval remains including an element of an 18th century structure and 19th century landscaping. The evaluation illustrated that archaeological remains lie at a depth that will not be impacted upon by most of the groundworks involved in the development proposed for the site, and they will be preserved in situ beneath it.

Watching brief by S Nelson of EEHAS during the alterations to the building and during demolition of a rear, presumed 19th century, extension. The building is a late 17th century timber-framed structure, with 18th and 19th century alterations and additions. Stripping of all internal plaster surfaces allowed details of the timber framing and sequence of development to be recorded and a previous programme of building recording be augmented.

Watching brief by N Cowlard of EEHAS revealed evidence of a corrugated asbestos-lined bomb shelter, a sherd of Roman pottery within the spoil, and extensive modern disturbance. A circular brick-built well uncovered on the boundary between numbers 38 and 40 is likely to have been built before the property was divided in the late 19th century.

Evaluation by J Stevenson of ASE revealed a fairly substantial ditch containing several pottery sherds of probable early Roman date and an undated gully

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE with one trench revealing three apparent ditch termini, two of which contained fragmentary Iron Age/Early Roman pottery. Extension of the area revealed two additional gullies, neither of which provided any dating evidence. A second phase of evaluation is planned.

Second season of excavation undertaken by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS to improve understanding of the villa plan and its phasing, clarify the relationship between the approach road and the villa, and to gather information about the current state of preservation of the buried archaeological remains.

Watching brief by E Rowe of CA during soil stripping in advance of mineral extraction did not reveal any features or deposits of archaeological interest, but a small assemblage of prehistoric struck flint, a single sherd of abraded Roman pottery, and abraded sherds of post-medieval glazed earthenwares were recovered from the topsoil.
