Land at Broadwater, Weybridge

Geophysical survey by R Elliot of Stratascan as part of an archaeological appraisal in advance of submission of a proposal for residential development. The detailed magnetic gradiometer survey revealed little evidence of archaeological activity. Several weak linear responses and discrete responses may have an archaeological origin, and a possible thermo-remanent response may relate to a burnt feature. Other anomalies are likely to be caused by field boundaries, natural features and modern disturbances.

Church Farm, Tatsfield

Excavation by S Smith as part of research for a television documentary series entitled ‘Tywysogion’ on the Welsh princes c 900–1420. Documentary research indicated that Tatsfield was in the possession of Rhodri ap Gruffudd – brother of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (Prince of Wales until his death in 1282) – and his descendants during the 14th century. The work consisted of the excavation of a number of test pits on possible earthworks, identified from aerial photograph and field survey observations, suggested as the remains of the medieval manor house of Tatsfield.

MoD site, Chobham Lane, Chertsey

Gazetteer of the buildings on the former tank testing, research and development establishment, and building recording of four of these – the parabolic blister hangar, the office block with two passive air-defence shelters, the laboratory with facilities for the televisual testing of turrets in action, and the climatic altitude chamber of the Climatic Laboratory – by R Burton, F Martin and A Richmond of Phoenix Consulting.

Goods Yard, Hooley Lane, Redhill

Historic building assessment and photographic recording by A Jones of Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick & Co Ltd, prior to demolition and redevelopment. The work indicated that the focus for the recording, the main goods shed, was likely to have been a purpose-built structure dating from the late 19th century, and then subsequently altered. The historic information had suggested it had a mid-19th century origin as a passenger station before conversion to a goods shed, but little indication of this former use could be seen.

Hampton Court Station, Hampton Court

Geoarchaeological evaluation by ArchaeoScape consisting of recording lithostratigraphy from three geotechnical boreholes and twelve geotechnical probe holes to provide a profile of sediment sequence, and assess the potential of the site for environmental evidence. The lower part of the sequence comprises sand and gravel of the Shepperton Gravel, a deposit widely recognised in the Middle Thames Valley and laid down at the end of the last glacial episode between c 20,000 and 10,000 years ago.

Godstone

Archaeogeophysical survey by A Bartlett of BCC carried out to test for the presence of features at a site which has produced Roman and later finds.

Land north of Moat Farm, Horley

Geophysical survey carried out by GeoQuest Associates as part of preliminary work prior to a proposed housing development. A number of weak anomalies were detected, although the only features identified with any confidence were a short section of silted ditch or river meander together with some areas of burning, and a possible section of bank and ditch.
