Hatch Furlong, Ewell

Second season 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. Four trenches were opened in a line running north–south between those excavated in 2006. The majority of the features excavated were of Roman origin (and continue to appear to be of 2nd–4th century date), but the recovery of a sherd of Neolithic Peterborough Ware and identification of several isolated later prehistoric features (including one at the southern edge of the site containing Middle Iron Age pottery), and the recovery of an unstratified 7th century AD silver coin, attests to activity before and after this period.
