46-50 High Street, Ewell

Excavation by G Hayman of SCAU for Fleetwood Developments Ltd, in advance of redevelopment, identified a number of features of Roman date including a large 1st-2nd century pit and a probable well of 3rd-4th century date. The quantity of Roman brick and tile recovered indicates a substantial building in the vicinity. The Roman features cut into a subsoil containing Bronze Age flints. Post-medieval features included a large pit, presumed to have been a well. (see report in SyAC 95, 281-295)
