Marymount International School, George Road, Kingston Upon Thames.

Two trenches were excavated; the earliest natural stratigraphy recorded was a sandy
gravel overlain by bands of sand at the top of which a mid brown sand contained Bronze
Age pottery fragments and worked flints. These artefacts did not appear to be in situ and
were probably dropped or washed down from higher up the slope to the north of the site.
Documentary evidence of the area having been open ground used as gardens from the
eighteenth century was possibly evidenced in trench 1 where a thin layer of buried topsoil
was recorded. Elsewhere severe truncation by modern features and levelling had removed any
further archaeological information.
