Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU revealed evidence of some modern disturbance, but no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU prior to an extension to the hotel. Roman structural evidence had previously been recorded on the site during archaeological observations in 1982. No repetition of this evidence was noted, although a fluvial clay was recorded at the base of the sequence, which apparently corresponded to a layer previously observed. This was overlain by a pebbly soil of medieval date with post-medieval rubble layers above, suggesting that some horizontal truncation of parts of the site had occurred

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU prior to building works located within the Scheduled area of the former Chertsey Abbey. Wall foundations probably relating to the Frater and Dorter ranges of the former abbey were revealed, although of principal note was the large extent of post-medieval disturbance revealed, indicating that significant damage to the medieval structures had taken place during the post-Dissolution period.

Geophysical survey and assessment by R Poulton of SCAU and A Bartlett of Bartlett-Clark Consultancy. Topographic survey, coupled with resistivity, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar sweeps of the site of the former Chertsey Beomonds manor were undertaken. The area most likely to contain the remains of the manor house provided disappointing results from all the techniques used, with little evidence for structural remains discerned.

Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU revealed a considerable layer of post-medieval made-ground, with some residual medieval pottery also present. However, no excavation was undertaken through this deposit.

Evaluation by R Lambert of SCAU prior to residential redevelopment of a former playing field. A Mesolithic feature and a Bronze Age cremation represented the only earlier prehistoric activity on the site. However, a number of postholes and a large pit were dated to the Middle Iron Age and indicated an intensification of activity during this period. It was considered that these features may relate to a settlement of this date in the area – possibly in areas adjacent to the site developed for housing prior to PPG16 and therefore not investigated.

Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU prior to works to the car park undertaken as part of the Priory Park regeneration project revealed a substantial robbed wall foundation of uncertain date, together with a medieval feature.

Watching brief by D Williams of SCAU during the excavation of service trenches associated with the Priory Park regeneration project. Stone-built foundations, which were probably the remains of a former wing of the house, were revealed. A somewhat larger foundation that may have once formed part of the original Augustinian priory buildings was revealed, although dating evidence was not found. Four inhumation burials were also uncovered. All the archaeological remains have been preserved in situ.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation and excavation by J Robertson of SCAU, undertaken as part of the park regeneration programme. The area of the former tennis courts was evaluated, with evidence for the remains of a hexagonal dovecote, structural walls and a hearth being revealed. The area was thought more suitable for geophysical survey, however, and this technique was pursued here subsequently (see report below).
