Juniper Hill, Mickleham

Evaluation by L Bashford of ASE, for Mr Renoir, to test the location of Stane Street, as part of an inquiry into the infilling of the Downs Road holloway. Any evidence for early use of Downs Road may have been removed during the construction of supporting brick walls alongside the track and erosion of the holloway itself. Very little dating evidence was recovered, but other features revealed are thought likely to represent post medieval landscaping. One gravel surface, presumed to represent a path or track, may be earlier. A watching brief was subsequently maintained by SCAU on the re-excavation of the holloway.
