St. Mary’s No. 5 Churchyard, Ewell

Excavation by C Orton of University College London revealed evidence for the presence of possibly two Roman buildings adjacent to Stane Street. Numerous domestic finds including glazed Roman pottery, a large quern fragment, animal bones, a whetstone and about thirty coins were recovered. A burial of probable early Roman date was also revealed, which could provide useful information about the limits of settlement in the area at this time. (346)
