Survey by R Hooker and J English of SyAS of the Scheduled hillfort revealed both location and design to be influenced by the natural topography. In addition to the survey, the damage caused by tree felling and use of mountain bikes was also investigated. (405, 416)

Analytical survey by J Hicks and J English of SyAS during the winters of 2005–6 and 2006–7 of land surrounding Newark Priory, which was dissolved in 1538. The survey included recording the standing buildings and encompassed earthworks within part of the assumed area of the precinct although the fenced area around the standing buildings was not surveyed.

Report on the loss of a Second World War pillbox by SyAS. The feature was demolished during construction work at the site.

Excavation by P Harp and members of SyAS next to Wayneflete’s Tower. The Tower was built by Bishop William of Wayneflete as a gatehouse, dated by dendrochronology to 1462, and is the last remaining standing structure associated with the palace of the bishops of Winchester that once existed here. The excavation revealed a series of brick walls, the bases of which were not reached at the 2.1m-deep extent of the excavation. The walls defined one complete and two partial walls, and the probable base of a slightly later staircase.

Resistivity survey by D and A Graham of SyAS undertaken to investigate the survival and location of the now-buried remains of Alexander Raby’s principal mill at the Downside industrial complex, with a view to locating an excavation trench on the site in 2008. The survey clearly illustrated the differences between what appeared to be the former mill structure and its associated watercourses, which corresponded with historic map information.

Evaluation by R and P Savage of SyAS led to the discovery of a short collapsed section of a post-medieval brick culvert running south-west from Cobham Lodge, probably built at the same time as Cobham Lodge in 1804. The collapse had occurred at a point where the culvert had been entered and altered during the early to mid-20th century, when two blocking walls had been inserted inside the culvert, one on each side of the section, which had now collapsed

Survey of earthworks by J English indicates the presence of boundaries of at least two phases of field systems and a series of gravel quarries preserved by emparkment during the 18th and 19th centuries. An excavation across the putative line of a road pre-dating the emparkment had previously proved inconclusive, but a test pit located in the area of a post-medieval dwelling that formerly stood adjoining the site indicated activity dating from the late 14th or early 15th centuries to the early 19th century.

Evaluation and excavation by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS, as part of a wider programme of work designed to gather together and reassess all available information of the villa site excavated by Lowther in the 1920s, and accompanying clay pits and tileworks surveyed and excavated by J Hampton in the 1960s. The work located the site of the villa, and a trench close to its frontage located the approach road to the villa. Two spoil heaps near the villa, and a spoil heap for the detached bath-house, together with the general location of this building, were also found.

Watching brief by D Hartley of SyAS during residential redevelopment recovered a Roman amphora handle.

Excavation by A Hall of SyAS of a series of test pits on and near the alignment of Stane Street proposed by I D Margary revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest. (395)
