Hatch Furlong Ritual Shafts
Hatch Furlong Ritual Shafts submitted by MickM : Overhead view showing the half-sectioned re-excavation of the ritual shaft previously dug in the 1970s. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ritual Shafts in Surrey. A series of deep shafts found cut into chalk bedrock at Hatch Furlong. Shafts excavated on what is now the site of the nearby Homebase superstore were found to contain pottery vessels, coins and the bones of many dogs and cats. There is also evidence of prehistoric activity in the form of worked flints.

I was invited on a tour of the dig by field archaeologist Mick Miles, one of the instructors of the training dig that is going on at the moment. In the trench he is working on they have uncovered the top of one of the ritual shafts, which is around five feet by five feet (1.5m) square. They are not able to dig the shaft out completely as it is around 14 feet deep, however it was opened up in the 1970s by members of the local society, with Jon Cotton from the Museum of London. He is now their lead curator of prehistory, and was responsible for the excellent new prehistory gallery, 'London before London'. He was back at the dig in Ewell as co-director with Harvey Sheldon of Birkbeck College, and I had the chance of a quick chat .

We saw finds in the form of prehistoric worked flint, Roman pot fragments and animal bones. We also got a demonstration of sieving of the tiny finds and snail shells used in environmental archaeology to tell such things as the type of foliage cover that would have been present.

There are public open days this Friday and Saturday, when visitors are welcome to come and see archaeology in action on Friday May 5 from 12.30 to 7pm, and Saturday May 6 from 10am to 3pm. It is immediately off the A24 just after the Homebase store. Going from the Epsom direction, go past the turning on the left, then into a layby on the left-hand side. There is no parking available on site, although the layby outside may be used.

Birkbeck college's next training dig is at Syon House in June and July 2006, where they are in their third season of excavations, this year looking in the area of the now demolished medieval abbey church.

Animal burials at Carshalton by Andy B on Sunday, 10 October 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
A series of 2,000 year old animal burials have been found at Carshalton, London Borough of Sutton.

The burials, which were placed in pits, were discovered in an excavation being done before Stanley Park High School moves from its current location to a new site on the former Queen Mary’s Hospital at Orchard Hill. The pits belonged to a farm that was lived in before the Roman conquest in AD 43 and which continued to be occupied for a few generations afterwards. At this time people lived in round houses which had conical thatched roofs.

The burial of animals in pits is well known in Iron Age Britain and is part of a tradition of making offerings to the gods of the underworld. The pits were probably originally dug to store grain through the winter before sown in the spring. When the pits passed out of use the farmers buried valuable things in the pits before filling them in. At Carshalton the animals, which were probably sacrificed, include horses.

As well as the animal burials, Bronze Age remains have also been found. Small gullies, perhaps field boundaries, and what may be droveways for cattle may be associated with the nearby Queen Mary’s fort. The circular fort dates to the Late Bronze Age and 2,800 years ago it was one of the most important sites in the south. It was discovered when the hospital, which was a children’s hospital, was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

The excavation is the latest in a series to be undertaken in recent years. As the hospital was gradually decommissioned over the last decade, archaeological works took place before redevelopment. Archaeologists also made thorough surveys of the hospital, carefully recording the buildings before they were demolished.

Iron Age Horse burial found under schoolyard in Carshalton by Andy B on Sunday, 10 October 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
From Carshalton, about 5km east:

Iron Age Horse burial found under schoolyard

An Iron Age burial site containing the skeletons of children and sacrificed animals has been unearthed by archaeologists. The remains – which include tributes to a long-forgotten god – were buried in deep pits by Ancient Britons more than 2,000 years ago. They were discovered in London during the construction of a new school and are one of the most important Iron Age finds in the capital for years, shedding light on a time when Britain was on the verge of Roman rule.

Researchers believe the pits were dug on the site of a small farming community, made up of earth and timber roundhouses with thatched roofs and central fireplaces. They have all the hallmarks of ceremonial pits, used to mark the abandonment of a village. The children were buried separately and are thought to have died from natural causes.

The burials were discovered by workmen laying the foundations of the new Stanley Park High School on the former site of a hospital in Carshalton, South-West London. Duncan Hawkins, an archaeologist at the dig, said the remains were typical of a ‘late Iron Age and early Roman farming settlement’.

‘A very large number of domestic animal skeletons have been recovered – including horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and dogs,’ he said. These animals, which were either whole or partly dismembered, appear to have been deliberately sacrificed and deposited in deep pits cut into the chalk bedrock. This may represent some form of “closure” ritual when the settlement passed out of use with the pits perhaps originally representing grain stores.’

The pits were up to 12ft deep and lie less than 100 yards from one of the largest late Bronze Age hilltop enclosures in South-East England. This was dug up during the creation of a hospital 100 years ago.

A spokesman for the archaeologists said: ‘The human burials on the site are all infants who died at childbirth or very shortly after. Late Iron Age and Roman communities buried such infants in and around their homes where they were close to their living families.’

Other Iron Age features, including a possible livestock pathway, shallow gullies and pits, have also been identified. The school intends to share the discoveries with the pupils in history lessons. The finds come from the end of the Iron Age and the start of the Roman occupation which began in AD43 under the Emperor Claudius. It is possible that the village may have been abandoned in the upheaval that surrounded the arrival of the Roman army.

SPRING 2008 ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRAINING
EXCAVATION AT HATCH FURLONG, EWELL, SURREY
21 – 25 APRIL 2008 AND 28 APRIL – 2 MAY 2008
Course Organiser: Harvey Sheldon
A third season of exploratory archaeological evaluation (trial excavation) is being planned on this interesting site, in conjunction with the Epsom and Ewell History and Archaeology Society, the National Trust, the Surrey County Archaeological Unit, and the Museum of London. The training excavation will consist of two consecutive 5-day (Monday-Friday) courses.

These five-day courses provide training in archaeological excavation and recording techniques, and includes elements of initial finds processing and other aspects of archaeological investigation. No experience is necessary, and places on the training excavation are open to beginners as well as those more experienced in archaeology.

The excavation will provide field experience for all (including students undertaking Certificate/Diploma and degree courses in Archaeology). The course carries accreditation, and assessment will be based on site work and an essay.

Hatch Furlong is a parcel of land lying on a tongue of North Downs chalk that projects north-westwards down into the centre of Ewell Village. The Surrey County Sites and Monuments Record contains references to a series of Roman finds from the immediate area of the site. The most significant comprises a group of late 1st century and early second century chalk-cut shafts that were located during quarrying operations south of the site in 1847 and 1860. Finds from the shaft found in 1847 were lodged in the British Museum and some of the pottery from the two shafts emptied in 1860 is in the Bourne Hall Museum. Small-scale archaeological interventions were carried out on the Hatch Furlong site in the 1970s and these located features of Roman date, together with a range of finds of prehistoric, Roman and later finds.

Birkbeck College carried out a preliminary topographical survey and a geophysical investigation on the site in 2005 that revealed potential archaeological features. The Birkbeck/Epsom and Ewell History and Archaeology Society evaluations in 2006/2007 produced evidence of a number of Roman period shafts cut into the chalk, some apparently on a linear alignment, as well as a number of shallower features including pits and ditches (reports in Surrey Archaeological Society Bulletin 397 and 405). The 2008 archaeological evaluation is intended to place the previous discoveries in their local topographic, historical and wider contexts. It is also intended that the results will help inform the future management of the site. The educational aspects include training in field techniques and the project will provide an opportunity for local community access and participation.

The course is non-residential and will run from Monday to Friday, 9.30am-5.00pm, over the two weeks beginning 21 April and 28 April 2008. The fee is £185 per week of attendance, to include all tuition.

Further information including health and safety advice will be sent nearer the date. Steel toe-capped boots and an up-to-date tetanus inoculation are essential. Students are also reminded that such courses may be cancelled, or their nature modified, through circumstances beyond our control. If the course is cancelled, fees will be refunded.

Places are limited, and you are advised to return this form with your payment as soon as possible to: Diane Calliste, Archaeology Desk, Birkbeck Faculty of Lifelong Learning, 26 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DQ. Telephone Nafsika Vlassis to obtain further information on 020 7631 6627.

Local MP visits the site thought to be a religious complex by Andy B on Tuesday, 03 April 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
A Birkbeck training excavation in Ewell sought to reassess evidence of Roman activity found in the 1970s. The work focused on Hatch Furlong, where earlier digging revealed pottery, glass and coins, together with traces of a stone building and a 14-foot deep chalk shaft containing the bones of dogs, which may have been offered to the Roman gods as sacrifices.

These discoveries hint at the existence of a religious complex on the higher ground overlooking Stane Street – the Roman main road from London to Chichester – and the Roman settlement of Ewell.

Co-director of the site, Birkbeck’s Harvey Sheldon says: “Our aims were to locate the find spots precisely and characterise the site. There appear to be a good number of shafts and other pits with ritual placed deposits. The stone wall found previously seems to be part of a large Late Roman oven. It does look like there were shrines and deliberate attempts to communicate with the underworld: feasts and ceremonies would not be unexpected. A report is being prepared and the National Trust will use the findings to manage Hatch Furlong’s archaeology.”

The local Conservative MP for Epsom and Ewell and shadow transport secretary, Chris Grayling, visited the dig, along with a number of local school children and visitors to site open days. Chris says he was “intrigued” by the work. “Something like this brings local history to life in a way that no text book could ever do.”

He was equally impressed by the Birkbeck students on the site. “Birkbeck is a wonderful institution, it’s unique and a great way of giving people the chance to make a step-change in their career without having the often great difficulty of giving up work.”

One such student is Claire Cock-Starkey (28), in the third year of her BA History and Archaeology and a full-time as an assistant editor. “I chose Birkbeck because I could study and have a full-time job,” says Claire. “The first time I did a degree I regretted not doing history and archaeology, so I thought I’d go back and do what I wanted to do.”

Then there are people who simply signed up for the practical dig experience, such as Tessa Gittens: “I’m enjoying it enormously. It is a wonderful interest in retirement and it’s nice to be part of it.” Sally Redhead, also retired, adds: “What’s really impressive is how the local community is so involved. It’s a real collaborative effort.”

“There is a good crowd of students here,” continues Harvey. “Some are tasting archaeology for the first time and some are more experienced. They find it interesting and obviously that enthusiasm communicates itself.”

The dig was carried out between 22 April and 7 May 2006, led by Harvey Sheldon of Birkbeck and Jon Cotton of the Epsom and Ewell Local History and Archaeology Society/ Museum of London. The excavation was funded by grants from Surrey County Council, Epsom and Ewell History and Archaeology Society, Surrey Archaeological Society and the Council for British Archaeology South East. The work was completed on behalf of the National Trust, who own the site.

Religious site could reveal cult secrets by Andy B on Monday, 01 May 2006
(User Info | Send a Message)
Ewell was the largest Roman settlement in Surrey, divided by Stane Street, the major road between Chichester and London.

It is believed that weary travellers would refresh their spirits at springs in Ewell before making offerings to native deities.

In the 1840s evidence for a cult centre emerged as pottery vessels, wares, coins and dog bones were retrieved from the 30ft shafts. Many of the finds are exhibited now at the Museum of London.

The latest project will ensure the National Trust can manage effectively land given as a wildflower area not "a lost Roman ritual site full of votive gifts".

Caroline Thackray, the trust's territory archaeologist, said: "This is a great opportunity for us to learn more about the mysteries of this place using modern techniques."

"What is its meaning and importance? Who were Ewell's earlier inhabitants? And what was the reason for the chalk shafts that seem so bizarre to us today?

"We look forward to sharing a greater understanding and interpretation of our site with the local and wider academic community."

Re: Hatch Furlong Ritual Shafts by Anonymous on Monday, 01 May 2006
Bones of dozens of dogs offered to the gods in Roman times and unearthed in Ewell 30 years ago is an archeological find that has triggered further investigation.

Leading archaeologists are in the village recovering the secrets of lost Roman shrines.

The team of excavators, digging at Hatch Furlong on the Ewell bypass, is being led by Harvey Sheldon of Birkbeck College, University of London, and Jon Cotton of the Museum of London and president of the Epsom and Ewell Local History and Archaeology Society.

The first finds were made in the 1840s in a series of deep ritual shafts cut down into the chalk.

But today's archaeologists will be seeking to uncover more of a stone building and a further deep shaft found in 1977. Shafts like these have been found containing pottery vessels, coins and the bones of many dogs.

Ewell lies on Stane Street - the main Roman road from London to Chichester - and the discoveries in and around Hatch Furlong suggest that a religious complex once existed on the higher ground over-looking the settlement.

Bourne Hall Museum curator Jeremy Harte said: "This is a very exciting opportunity.

"We are looking at one of the most mysterious aspects of life in Roman Ewell - the cult centres where offerings were made to native gods."

The dig is being supported by Surrey County Council, Epsom and Ewell Local History and Archaeology Society, Surrey Archaeological Society and the Council for British Archaeology South East.
