Eashing Mill, Lower Eashing

Survey by T P Smith of MoLAS of buildings to be demolished as part of the redevelopment of Eashing Mill. The buildings were the remnants of the main mill building and two conjoined cottages to the north west. The style of the mill building, and its use of two-tone brickwork, belongs to the second half of the 19th century, probably to the last quarter of that century. The cottages are so close in style to the mill building that they were almost certainly built at more or less the same time - perhaps as a single project.

Green Lane, Wanborough

Geophysical surveys were undertaken by EH’s Ancient Monuments Laboratory, to assess the extent of features associated with the Roman temple. The general magnetic response was quiet, suggesting little occupation had occurred in this area; the resistivity survey recorded a number of anomalies, including a possible trackway and rubble spreads.

Manfield School, Ash

A watching brief by the GMVEU on the redevelopment of the school site revealed a considerable quantity of mainly early 17th century Border Ware, including wasters and kiln furniture. Small quantities of medieval whiteware and late 17th/18th century Red Border Ware were also recovered. A kiln site clearly lies in the vicinity. (307)

South Lane, Ash

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU, for Charles Church South East, in advance of residential redevelopment. A large quantity of late 14th to 15th century whiteware pottery, including wasters, was recovered, suggesting a kiln site in the vicinity. (314)

The Inner Quadrant, Ash

Evaluation by J Wright of Wessex, for Barratt Southern Counties, of a site proposed for residential development revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest. A considerable depth of alluvial sands overlay the natural gravel, but no palaeo-landsurfaces were revealed sealed by or within these.

Wanborough Romano-Celtic temple

Excavation by SyAS following on from a geophysical survey by EH, directed by D Williams, assisted by David Graham, and aided by volunteer diggers, of amongst other things, a new circular temple a short distance from the square temple complex robbed for several years by metal detectorists. The original purpose of the excavation was to define an area to be Scheduled, but due to the history of vandalism, it was decided to fully excavate the temple.

Wisley and Ockham Commons

Evaluation of the archaeological and historic landscape by C Currie of CKC Archaeology, in conjunction with SyAS, for SCC, with reference to them being proposed as Areas of Historic Landscape Value. The survey recorded a series of features, including a number of potential barrow sites (there is at least one authenticated prehistoric barrow on Cockcrow Hill), at least five historic ponds, and a large area of linear earthworks, possibly the remains of quarrying.
