Excavations by D J Turner continued. Finds include a William II halfpenny and a gaming piece.

Continued excavation by J J Chapman and S Dyer for SAFG located further RB ditches.

Report by D W Williams of the recovery of part of the mullion and transom of a Tudor window from the foundations of a probably 18th century boundary wall. It presumably came from the Priory. Also recovered were a few medieval sherds, a plain floor tile and the base of an undated Purbeck marble mortar. (180)

Continuing excavation of Mesolithic site by R Ellaby: so far c 15000 pieces of flint recovered, mostly from an oval area c 18 by 12m, around the edge of which four hearth groups have been located. The flints include 150 microliths, mostly small scalene triangles; tools are rare, the commonest being truncated flakes with notably only two dubious scrapers. Cooking pits contained calcined bone, some of roe deer, from which it is hoped to obtain radiocarbon dating for the site. (182)

A probable Neolithic site identified from a flint scatter recorded independently by R L Ellaby and D W Williams and D J Field with members of the LTRG. A thin scatter of flints continued south-east to TQ 205 537.

Continued excavation by Vivien Ettlinger for SyAS in advance of redevelopment located a second length of V-shaped ditch c 3m wide and 1.5m deep on the possible line of Stane Street. Finds from the overall excavation included large quantities of RB pottery and building material, a brooch, coins of the 2nd to 4th centuries, a bone pin and a bone disc. (181)

Excavation by J L Gower for SyAS recovered unstratified RB and medieval material.

Small-scale excavation by R I Macphail, Ann Watson and D G Bird to test the former's theories about brownearth erosion as a result of tree clearance in the prehistoric period.

Apparently unrecorded earthwork investigated by G Elmore, D J Field and Pat Nicolaysen. An approximately oval enclosure some 400 yards by 200 with a bank and external ditch on three sides disturbed on the south by ‘recent’ quarrying.

Excavation by J R Turner for Haslemere Group of SyAS of part of the south side of the nave revealed no trace of a previous church, but it was not possible to dig right alongside the south wall footing. A series of greensand floors, some lime-washed, were noted, and tentatively dated from the 12th to the mid-13th centuries. (187)
