Evaluation by W Weller of SCAU revealed significant modern disturbance and truncation, indicative of a high level of landscaping works in recent years. Four small pits or postholes of post-medieval date were recorded, but there was no evidence that they were related to the former 18th century farmstead known from cartographic evidence.

A watching brief by W Weller of SCAU during levelling of a sports field, recovered a small assemblage of unstratified Neolithic and Bronze Age worked flints. However, owing to the shallow nature of the groundworks, no other finds or features of archaeological interest were recorded; the archaeological horizon was not encountered.

Evaluation by S Wallis of TVAS on land to the rear of the hotel revealed areas of considerable disturbance, some associated with the construction of the recently demolished hotel block, constructed in 1971 and the subject of a separate historic building record by G Elliott, also of TVAS. No finds or features of archaeological interest were recorded.

Watching brief by S Nelson of SyAS during minor works revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by M Saywood of SCAU during excavations for an extension revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by N Humphreys of ASE revealed a heavily landscaped and truncated site with no evidence of a surviving archaeological horizon and no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation and excavation by W Weller of SCAU revealed the continuation of a shallow, V-shaped, curvilinear ditch, broadly dated to the Roman period and first recorded in the otherwise negative evaluation conducted in 2016. The quantity of Roman pottery recovered, all Alice Holt/Farnham greyware, suggests that the ditch probably formed part of a domestic type enclosure.

A fourth season of excavation by L Spencer of SyAS on the probable site of the medieval Bookham Courte revealed a section of cobbled surface under a highly compacted layer of chalk and flint. Its location and the pottery assemblage recovered from the layer suggest that it may be part of the ‘Great Yarde’ referred to in a 1616 description of Bookham Courte. A short continuation of a line of large chalk blocks, first recorded to the west in 2015 (SyAC 100, 282), was seen to extend east beyond the limit of excavation. The structure, if it was such, would have had little structural strength.

Evaluation by J Payne of SCAU on the second of three phases of development revealed a single linear ditch of probable post-medieval date that may equate to a field boundary shown on the c1840 tithe map.

Evaluation by D Milbank and L Esteves of TVAS recorded made-ground across much of the site. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.
