The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge

A geoarchaeological borehole survey designed to record the alluvial profile and any associated deposits and to determine their archaeological and palaeo-environmental potential, was carried out by D Allen of WA in advance of office development on the flood plain of the river Wey. While there can be little doubt that the Wey and its flood plain would have been well utilized in the past, the sediment analysis indicated a fast-flowing water course which would have made the active flood plain environment unsuitable for settlement or occupation.

The New Inn Public House, East Molesey

Watching brief by G Jackson and T Howe of SCC following the discovery of bones during underpinning works to an internal wall. Given the fragmentary nature of the bones and their location under the wall, it was difficult to determine which animal they originated from, and the nature of the feature they were deposited in. Examination suggested it was a relatively modern rubbish pit truncated by the construction of the Inn in the later 19th century.

Whiteley Village, Weybridge

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during the construction of an accommodation block, and following on from evaluation last year of this part of the Whiteley Village redevelopment. The watching brief identified a degree of 19th and 20th century disturbance, as well as evidence of root disturbance, but no sign of the ditch (nor any other finds or features) revealed in the evaluation.
