Former Anchor Garage and land to rear, Chertsey Road, Shepperton

An initial evaluation by G Potter of CA revealed archaeology of medieval and post-medieval date. A subsequent watching brief identified similar finds and features from these periods, including the ground plan of a small post-medieval cottage. Although at present only provisional dates are available, several features appear to relate to the Roman period including a significant length of ditch. A single inhumation in a square burial pit was also excavated. The skeleton has been dated to the Iron Age, and belongs to a female in her late 40s. Also recovered were notable quantities of struck flint, including a leaf-shaped arrowhead, and both early and later medieval pottery.
