Oxted Quarry, Chalk Pit Lane, Oxted

Monitoring and recording by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during soil stripping for a quarry extension. A number of small pits, three of which were Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in date, and a (probable boundary) ditch tentatively dated to the Middle or Late Bronze Age, were revealed and excavated. The pits are considered to represent one or more occupation site(s), and analysis of environmental deposits within one of the datable pits revealed that it was located in a landscape of rough grassland with some scrub.
