Archive of TransactionsIron Age hut circles discovered near Lower Mill Farm, Stanwell (TQ 03577418) Phil Jones and Rob Poulton Salvage excavation and recording of features revealed during overburden removal within a gravel pit demonstrated that they belonged to a small settlement of prehistoric, probably Iron Age, date. Eaves-drip trenches belonging to two round houses and an ancillary structure were recorded. A scatter of medieval and post- medieval sherds within the permission imply arable use not previously known for that period. [Transactions 38 (1987), pp 1 – 10; abstract as published]
