About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Neolithic Man in North-East Surrey These chapters attempt to give the results of some years of observation and research respecting a familiar branch of archaeology, so far as it concerns the North-East corner of the most beautiful of the home counties. The district explored lies close to the wilderness of London. In the exploration, difficulty has been the twin-brother of desire, for whilst it seemed well to examine the area nearest our feet, it was plain that this must be done speedily, for bricks and mortar are spreading apace. The supposed barrow at Bedford Hill is demolished and built over; vandals have partly destroyed the barrows on Banstead Downs; and the crumbling fortifications at Cardinal's Cap, already barely discernible, are in private grounds, or they might soon be merged in the formation of a stronghold of more modern type. Beddington, Mitcham. Ewell, and other villages, are fast losing their rural features, Within the last two or three years the builder has spoiled some of the haunts of Neolithic man described in these pages. There were two further difficulties to be met. Much of the North Downs is covered with the compact turf of ages, which thus conceals ancient remains. On the other hand, in some localities the soil is so highly cultivated as to be practically inaccessible to the rambler. The latter part of the book has some approach to uniqueness, and is, we trust, a real contribution to archaeology. It deals largely with surface discoveries, which hitherto have been much neglected, if t despised. That there is sense in such investigations is admitted by less an authority than Lord Avebury. He says, ' Stone implements are frequently found on the surface of the ground, or are dug up in agricultural or other operations.
