The site lies on the Upper Chalk of the North Downs and overlooks the springs around which the Roman and later settlement of Ewell developed. Although bad weather hampered the programme throughout, five trenches were evaluated between 18th April and 8th May 2008 by students from Birkbeck Faculty of Lifelong Learning, community archaeology volunteers working with Surrey County Archaeology Unit (SCAU), and weekend volunteers drawn from Epsom and Ewell History and Archaeology Society (EEHAS) and Surrey Archaeological Society (SyAS). Pupils from a number of local schools were conducted around the site, in addition to over three hundred visitors on a busy Bank Holiday Monday. As has become customary, this year’s investigations were filmed by members of the Epsom Cine and Video Society. The aim of the third season was to investigate areas adjacent to those previously examined at the southern end of the site. Furthermore the intention was to define more clearly the areas dug in the 1970s and glimpsed in Trenches 2 and 5 in 2006; to explore the post holes revealed in Trench 9 in 2007; and to complete the examination of the deeper of the two chalk-cut shafts (context [1005]) in Trench 6.

  • Harvest Mouse Project Report
    Surrey Harvest Mouse Project Report for People’s Trust for Endangered Species David Williams CMIEEM January 2015 Surrey Wildlife Trust, School Lane, Pirbright, Woking, Surrey GU24 0JN 1 The Harvest Mouse (Micromys minutus) project began in 2011 as a result of a successful application for funding to People’s Trust for Endangered Species. Surrey Wildlife Trust also part funded the project. Although populations are reported to have declined by 71% (Sargent et al 1997) very little successful survey work has been undertaken in Surrey. Lack of survey information about Harvest mice numbers is probably due to the ineffectiveness of survey and trapping techniques (Riordan et al 2009; Poulton and Turner 2009 and Meek 2011). Nest searches can be overestimated with Harvest mice building several nests for each brood (R.C.Trout and S.Harris, Mammals of Great Britain 2008). The project used several types of surveys and different trapping methods. The aims were to enhance our knowledge and status of the species (which would inform management plans to ensure sensitively managed habitats) and raise public awareness of the conservation status of the Harvest mouse, using them as a flagship species to promote landscape scale conservation of floodplain grazing. These aims would be achieved by trapping, nest surveys, owl pellet dissection, positioning hair tubes and camera traps. We trialled three types of small mammal live traps at two different heights (one being at floor level). Nest searches were undertaken and owl pellets were collected and dissected to search for Harvest mice remains. Hair tubes were trialled at various heights, along with trail cameras placed in the stork zone.
