Watching brief by S Hind and R Poulton of SCAU between 2006 and 2009 during the redevelopment of the barn. There was extensive evidence of post-medieval disturbance, much of it relatively modern in date, but a small amount of prehistoric material, including Mesolithic flintwork and Bronze Age pottery, was recovered. However, the principal interest of the site related to the fact that Place Farm is an 18th century building formed on the manorial complex of Bletchingley Place.

Evaluation by D Milbank of TVAS in advance of the creation of a pond, recovered a sherd of medieval or possibly Roman pottery from subsoil, but did not reveal any features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by T Munnery of SCAU in advance of the creation of fishing lakes alongside the M25 did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Three phases of archaeological investigation were carried out by S Ford, J Pine and J Lewis of TVAS in advance of possible future extraction on this site. The first phase comprised the excavation of 249 trenches and revealed a range of deposits of Late Bronze Age, Roman, Early Saxon, Late Saxon and medieval dates, within an area coincident with a cropmark enclosure complex; a small number of gullies possibly dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age to the west, and in-situ Mesolithic artefacts and a Mesolithic pit.

Evaluation by T Munnery of SCAU exposed the foundations of the church, and three burials, two of which were likely to be relatively recent and the third of unknown date. A barbed-and-tanged arrowhead was discovered in the graveyard in the 1990s, and an unstratified struck flint, probably of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, was recovered during the evaluation.

Watching brief by N Randall of SCAU during groundworks involved in the installation of a water pipeline across and to the east and west of the A22. The probable route of the London–Brighton Roman road is postulated to lie below the present route of the A22. No remains of this were exposed in the trench excavated across the A22, but evidence of a succession of 18th–19th century phases of sub-surface road construction was revealed.

Evaluation and watching brief by S Hoad of MoLAS on land within the manorial estate of Rhodri ap Gruffudd, brother of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd the Prince of Wales until his death in 1282, and his descendants during the 14th century. Two undated postholes were revealed.

Watching brief by S Watson of PCA during the excavation of two service trenches linked to two new soakaways in the churchyard. Post-medieval ceramic building material was revealed in topsoil and subsoil deposits, evidence for a 19th or 20th century path foundation was observed, and the southernmost trench sectioned a bank that forms the current southern boundary of the churchyard. Only modern demolition debris was recovered from the fill, but it is likely that the bank is much older and possibly medieval in date.

Evaluation by J Stevenson of ASE revealed a fairly substantial ditch containing several pottery sherds of probable early Roman date and an undated gully

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.
