Matthew Arnold School, near Staines

Evaluation and subsequent excavation by G Hayman of SCAU for SCC’s Resources Dept. Ditches or gullies forming a D-shaped enclosure were identified, within which were a number of postholes and stakeholes and a hearth. Most of the features produced late 12th or early 13th century pottery. It seems likely that the enclosure is related to the nearby earthwork known as Caesar’s Camp which has been interpreted as a medieval stock enclosure. (293; see report in SyAC 94, 1-52)
