Birchen Coppice, Bletchingley

Evaluation by P Cox of AC Archaeology revealed a single undated gully and an ill-defined feature, possibly a tree-throw hollow, containing charcoal fragments and a possible late Mesolithic blade. A subsequent watching brief during the creation of an access track revealed two undated features: one observed in section and possibly representing a former ditch, and the other a short linear feature comprised almost solely of charcoal. No evidence was present to assist with dating or identifying the function of the earthwork located in the nearby Birchen Coppice.
