Evaluation and excavation by S Weaver and J Saunders of TVAS, for HBG Properties, of a site to be redeveloped for warehousing, did not reveal evidence for the barrows mentioned in this vicinity in the Merstham boundary charter of 947 AD. The evaluation did reveal a number of dateable pits and ditches indicating the presence of a late Iron Age / early Roman settlement. One of the features was initially thought to represent part of a curvilinear boundary ditch, but the subsequent excavation illustrated that this was one of two rectilinear ditches on the site.

A watching brief was carried out by M Dover of SCAU, for Reigate Grammar School, during the construction of a new caretakers house and the new dining hall. No features or finds of archaeological interest were revealed.

Evaluation by K Ritchie of Wessex, for Saxon Developments Ltd, of a site proposed for residential redevelopment, revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest despite the site being relatively undisturbed.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU, for Green Property (UK) Ltd, in advance of redevelopment for offices, revealed no features of archaeological interest. A number of finds were recovered however. These included pieces of struck prehistoric flint and numerous sherds of pottery, ranging in date from the 12th century onwards, as well as fragments of tile, clay pipe and animal bone. It is likely that this area was formerly in agricultural use and that most of these finds are the result of manuring.

Excavation and watching brief by J Robertson of SCAU, for Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, revealed the bailey ditch of Reigate Castle, and related 13th century features. The ditch had been cleaned out in the 18th century and used as a moated feature within the landscaped grounds of the former castle, and filled in during the late 18th or 19th century, possibly when the adjacent Tunnel Road was constructed in 1821.

A watching brief was maintained by J Stevenson of SCAU, for UK and European Investments Ltd, during the construction of an office block with associated car park and access road. A capped well of probable 19th century date was found, although most of the examined area had been previously disturbed by the construction of Redland House. No other features or finds of archaeological interest were recorded.

Watching brief by P Harp of Plateau on the construction of houses adjacent to the Tumble Beacon. A pit containing alternate layers of burnt flint and ashy soil was recorded. No finds were associated with the feature, but it is thought to be Bronze Age in origin.

Evaluation by G Pattison of SCAU, for Mr Dupenois, of land proposed for residential development to the north west of the Tumble Beacon, revealed only a handful of struck flints associated with charcoal and burnt flint. The flints appear to be Bronze Age in date, although one possibly Neolithic flint was also recovered. A fragment of pottery, probably prehistoric, but too small for identification, was also recovered.

Fieldwalking and topsoil seiving by P Harp and Plateau has recovered a large number of worked flints of Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age date, some Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British, and medieval pot, and a medieval knight finial fragment. (317, 319, 323, 324)

A watching brief carried out by TVAS on the residential redevelopment of this site, for Linden Homes, following excavation in 1997, revealed no further archaeological features or finds.
