Land adjoining Horton Hospital, Long Grove Road, Epsom

Evaluation and excavation by J Stevenson of ASE in advance of the construction of a new school. Detailed analysis is not yet complete, but preliminary results suggest that the truncated linear features revealed may represent field systems or other agricultural activity, provisionally of Bronze Age date. Postholes and a small number of pits probably represent temporary shelters/structures and associated activity rather than a main settlement.
