The previous plan succeeded in guiding and completing the re-introduction of summer cattle grazing, significantly improving biological monitoring, increasing volunteer input and cooperation with the Epsom Common Association and City of London (Ashtead Common National Nature Reserve), commencing a programme of veteran tree management, improving public access and interpretation, attaining both Green Flag and Green Heritage Awards, restoring path surfaces and securing the substantial external funding required to achieve the above. Subject to ten year reviews this plan aims to describe the important features of Epsom Common and set out an agreed approach for the continued management of the site to benefit both the people and wildlife of Epsom & Ewell for the next one hundred years. This plan prescribes in detail how the site will be managed from 2016 to 2026, ensuring that Epsom Common continues to provide excellent access to nature whilst at the same time providing a home for wildlife of national and international importance. The plan has been updated following additional site surveys carried out during the lifetime of the previous plan with consequent re-appraisal of available data. Liaison with a number of individuals and representatives of relevant organisations (e.g. Epsom and Ewell Borough Council, the Epsom Common Association Natural England, City of London and the Lower Mole Countryside Partnership) has again taken place. Objectives and outline prescriptions set out in consultation drafts have been agreed by all parties concerned. As with the 2005-2015 plan the format of this plan remains based on that produced for Ambersham Common, West Sussex (Ryland, 2002) A PLAN FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS Over the last 100 years Epsom Common has undergone great change. A once largely treeless heath resulting from local economic pressure to provide subsistence to local people through grazing, fuel and fodder, today provides local people with fresh air, exercise and protection for wildlife. As readers of this plan will discover Epsom Common is of both national and international importance for its wildlife and maintaining that value requires an informed, consistent, systematic and long term approach to habitat management and public access. For example, trees live for hundreds of years, the ecological benefits of re- introducing grazing will take many decades to be fully realised, and biological monitoring often yields really valuable information after many years of recording effort. 1 This plan provides a regularly reviewed (10 years) 100 year approach to the management of Epsom Common to ensure the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the wildlife and heritage of Epsom Common whilst also ensuring good public access to a wonderful place! The key components in managing Epsom Common which are unlikely to change in the next one hundred years are as follows: Managing and maintaining the features of the Site of Special Scientific Interest in ‘favourable’ condition. Ensuring the protection, maintenance, monitoring and enhancement of biodiversity and cultural heritage of Epsom Common. Ensuring good public access via a network of well-maintained and signed paths and bridleways. Encouraging and supporting the work of the Epsom Common Association and volunteers. Interpreting Epsom Common to the public Maintaining a close working relationship with the owners of Ashtead Common (City of London) and other partners through the Epsom & Ashtead Commons SSSI Forum Maintaining Great Pond Dam under the terms of the Reservoirs Act. Working towards the attainment of National Nature Reserve Status for the whole of the Epsom & Ashtead Commons Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Issues of continuity and gradual evolution of practices as opposed to rupture and sudden replacement form a major theme of funerary archaeological research as well as the broader socio-political context of the 4th to 7th centuries CE in England (e.g. Oosthuizen 2019). For this reason it is worth going the extra mile when interrogating and contextualising the relevant evidence in order to reach conclusions based upon as complete a picture as possible. The main focus of the following paragraphs is the interpretation of some of the items found in Guildown grave 78 put forward by Bird (and others before him) and how, in his words, these ‘must raise speculation about some form of continuity from late Roman arrange- ments in this general area’ (Bird 2018, 6-7).
