  • Croydon APA 2.12: Pollards Hill
    Croydon APA 2.12: Pollards Hill Summary and Definition The Archaeological Priority Area covers the summit of Pollards Hill where a possible earthwork is located and includes the site of a recreation ground and a number of houses in Ena Road and Pollards Wood Road. It is classified as a Tier 2 Archaeological Priority Area because it is a distinctive topographical feature with evidence of archaeological interest. Description A series of low banks have fuelled the belief that a prehistoric earthwork is located here and a low bank between 0.5m and 1.3m high surrounds a circular area of flat ground but the age and extent of the earthwork are currently unknown. Excavations that have taken place at the site found little of significance and prehistoric finds have not been made in the area. The Norwood Archaeological Society excavated the site in 1962 but the results were inconclusive. In 1996 a watching brief was carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology Service which did not find any significant archaeological remains but none of the test pits were located in the area of the potential earthwork. The APA is located on the highest point of the local area on a hill comprised of London Clay so it is logical for a prehistoric hillfort to be situated here due to the commanding views across wide stretches of the surrounding area. It is also a possibility that some form of signalling station was located here in the Roman period due to its proximity to the London to Brighton Roman road. The site was farmland until the area around it started to be developed in the early 20 th century.
