Runfold Farm, Farnham

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU of a further area of the quarry. A small number of 18th century ditches were recorded, together with two of a probable Roman date, although the dating evidence to support this hypothesis may be residual in origin.

Whitebeech, Chiddingfold

Fieldwalking survey by T Howe of SCC. A training exercise in conjunction with D & A Graham of SyAS catalogued a large amount of material, the results of which were plotted out to identify more precisely the location of the large Roman villa complex, known to exist in the area following excavations in 1888-9. Evidence for a probable Mesolithic site was also identified. (362)

Mother Ludlam’s Cave, Farnham

Excavation by D Graham of SyAS prior to the installation of new wrought iron gates. The cave has been largely formed by the action of a stream, which still flows strongly through the cave. Evidence for 18th and 19th century management of the stream and cave was found, in the form of salt-glazed pipes, a brick lined drain, and a brick floor. No earlier features were observed, although no attempt was made to break through the brick floor to examine deeper deposits. (360)

Wyphurst Road, Cranleigh

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU prior to an application for residential development. A large number of features were revealed, including ditches, gullies, postholes, pits, wall foundations and robber trenches, most appearing to date from the late 1st/early 2nd century Romano-British period. Some Iron Age artefacts and features were also identified, suggesting that the settlement had earlier origins. It is unclear as to the exact nature of the site, although the evidence to date is consistent with the activities involved in the construction and operation of a small farmstead.
