Cobham Park, Cobham

Evaluation by J English and D Taylor of SyAS on the site of a former cottage and suspected trackway in the form of a linear earthwork. A demolition deposit relating to the cottage was found to contain roof and floor tiles, brick and pottery dating from the late medieval period to the 20th century. Examination of the earthwork revealed only compacted soils, although a number of undiagnostic flint flakes were recovered.

Land at Broadwater, Weybridge

Geophysical survey by R Elliot of Stratascan as part of an archaeological appraisal in advance of submission of a proposal for residential development. The detailed magnetic gradiometer survey revealed little evidence of archaeological activity. Several weak linear responses and discrete responses may have an archaeological origin, and a possible thermo-remanent response may relate to a burnt feature. Other anomalies are likely to be caused by field boundaries, natural features and modern disturbances.

Nurses Cottage, Old Palace Road, Weybridge

Watching brief maintained by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of two extensions at a property within the Scheduled area of Oatlands Palace revealed that the site had seen a considerable build-up in level (of over 1m) since the demolition of the palace in 1650. At the base of the build-up, and overlying the natural, was a layer representing debris from the palace demolition, although it is unclear what this implies with regard to the location of the site in relation to the palace.
