Rookery Farm, Outwood

Watching brief by R James and L Barber of ASE undertaken during groundworks associated with the refurbishment of a barn. Underpinning trenches were excavated below existing wall lines, and the internal levels were reduced, but only an earlier brick floor of probable 18th or 19th century date was revealed.

Haxted Barn, Haxted

Historic building recording by S Lilley of AOC prior to conversion. The structure was recorded and assessed as dating to the mid-17th century, although the presence of a medieval down brace suggests re-use of materials from an earlier structure. Evidence for a substantial fire within the structure at some point in its history was also catalogued.

Oxted Quarry, Chalk Pit Lane, Oxted

Monitoring and recording by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during soil stripping for a quarry extension. A number of small pits, three of which were Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in date, and a (probable boundary) ditch tentatively dated to the Middle or Late Bronze Age, were revealed and excavated. The pits are considered to represent one or more occupation site(s), and analysis of environmental deposits within one of the datable pits revealed that it was located in a landscape of rough grassland with some scrub.

Godstone to Tonbridge

Rapid walkover by Mouchel Heritage along the 28km route of a proposed replacement pipeline between Godstone and Tonbridge in Kent, undertaken to contribute to the assessment of the archaeological implications of the proposed pipeline. Monitoring of test pits by M Collings to examine the impact caused by the laying of the existing pipeline revealed that it is likely there was minimal impact outside the cut of the pipe trench.

North Park Farm, Bletchingley

Excavation by P Jones of SCAU adjacent to areas previously investigated revealed evidence of activity spanning the early prehistoric to medieval periods. The earliest purposely dug feature was a large and deep banana-shaped pit that contained over 3000 struck flints of wholly Mesolithic date. Evidence of Bronze Age activity revealed across the site was of long duration, although probably episodic.
