Surrey Archaeological Society is planning an eighth season of excavation at Ashtead Roman Villa and Tileworks. Volunteers are invited to take part across three weeks in August and September.
In 2012, the team developed their knowledge of the early buildings west of the Roman ‘villa’, and this work will continue in 2013. Questions raised by excavations carried out in the 1920s about the phasing and plan of the villa still need to be answered by further fieldwork, and excavation at the tile kiln will also be completed.
Non-Members of Surrey Archaeological Society are asked to pay a non-returnable contribution towards the cost of organising the dig, which must paid before 17 July 2013. Volunteers of all ability levels are welcome to attend the dig, but inexperienced newcomers should attend for at least 5 days. Participants must be aged between 17 and 77 years-old.
Accommodation near the site is expensive, so participants are advised to travel to the site daily by car or train.
