Led by Carl Raven (Liss Archaeology), this one-day course will take place on Friday 29 March from 10:00-15:00 at the Abinger Research Centre (Hackhurst Lane, Abinger Hammer RH5 6SE).
This is a detailed overview introductory course on using the free Snuffler geophysics software for processing of both magnetometry and resistivity data, but will also cover theory and methods in undertaking geophysical surveys.
There will be four days of further test pitting and trial trenching at Leatherhead, centred this year around Rowhurst and Teazle Wood, to take place in late October.
Digging will require advanced booking, as members of the Society and those from the local community will have a more in-depth opportunity to dig, sieve and process finds. To book and for queries, please contact outreach@surreyarchaeology.org.uk.
**Please note, this portion of the test pitting programme is for adults only**

On the night of 17th June 1919 a knock came on the door of 92 Lower Court Road. The messenger spoke and left. Thomas Green, Station Sergeant, Epsom Police Station, hurriedly put on his coat and when his daughter Lily asked where he was going, he explained he had just been told that Canadian soldiers were about to attack the police station. She told him to be careful and to be sure to wear his helmet, but he replied that he would go in his own clothes as that would be safer going through the streets. He put on his cap and left the house, never to return alive.
