The Bungalow, Willow Walk, Chertsey
Evaluation by A Tynan of AOC recorded no archaeological features although a small piece of late medieval decorated floor tile, probably from Chertsey Abbey, was found in a made-ground deposit.
Runnymede
Abbey Lodge, Abbey Gardens, Chertsey
Evaluation by J Aaronson of CA within the Scheduled Monument of Chertsey Abbey revealed a considerable amount of residual medieval material, including pottery, tile and brick that undoubtedly derives from Chertsey Abbey, but is believed to be material previously sifted out during excavations carried out in 1954. Gravel layers were also revealed that may have formed part of an earlier path skirting the south and western sides of the mid-19th century Abbey Lodge.
Aldi site, Gogmore Lane Chertsey
Evaluation by O Good of CA revealed evidence of low level, late post-medieval to early modern activity across the eastern part of the site in the form of a ditch, a large pit, two postholes and a short section of wall foundation. The features identified correlate well with the known development of the site in the mid–late 19th century by the Lion Brewery and its eventual demolition and redevelopment in the mid-20th century.
Coronation House, Gogmore Lane, Chertsey
Watching brief by C Enright of ASE revealed no significant archaeological remains or deposits.
Land at Hanworth Lane, Chertsey
Evaluation by K Marshall of PCA revealed two linear features, one of which contained a single degraded sherd of pottery dating to the later prehistoric period.
Land at Salesians School, Guildford Road, Chertsey
Evaluation by W Weller of SCAU revealed a posthole containing a small assemblage of pottery of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date. A larger collection of struck flint recovered from the posthole and within the overburden was of similar later Bronze Age date.
1 The Causeway, Egham Hythe
Watching brief of geotechnical trial pits by P Alexander of PCA revealed natural deposits comprising gravel, brickearth and alluvium, suggesting that any archaeological horizons that may be present remain undisturbed.
Land to the rear of 64 The Avenue, Egham
An archaeological strip, map and sample excavation by W Weller of SCAU revealed archaeological deposits of multiple periods with Late Bronze Age and Roman features the most dominant. A series of three excavations was conducted in the same area during the 1970s and this phase of work represented a chance to further enhance the understanding of settlement activity in the area.
The Old Police Station, Egham
Historic building recording by C Butler of CBAS confirmed that some original 1930s features and fittings have been retained, such as the staircases, some doors and picture rails and skirting boards, although the building has been modernised and redecorated consistent with its use as a Police Station and offices.
Royal Holloway Sports Pitches, Royal Holloway College, Egham
Watching brief by L McCaig and D Freer of WA revealed the partial remains of a late 19th century red brick-built building consisting of two lengths of wall and a small area of surviving associated exterior surface. No evidence of the postulated Roman road was uncovered owing, possibly, to the shallowness of the monitored works.
