Wessex Archaeology
McLaren Technology Centre, Chertsey Road, Woking
No evidence of any archaeological features were found during the watching brief however test pits
8, 9 and 10 did display signs of modern disturbance which may have been associated with the
landscaping of the grounds of the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) building.
Tilly's Lane, Staines
Two phases of archaeological excavations were undertaken within the Tilly's Lane development area on the north side of Staines High Street. A single trench was excavated at Tilly's Lane East between April and June 1999, with two trenches at Tilly's Lane West - British Gas and High Street sites - between February and May 2000. All the trenches lay on the gravel island, though Tilly's Lane East and the British Gas site lay within early flood zones.
Land at Egley Road, Woking
Evaluation by D Britchfield of WA identified evidence for prehistoric activity on or in the vicinity of the site in the form of residual burnt flint and a flint blade of Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. A small quantity of medieval pottery was recovered from a tree-throw hollow but a small pit contained no datable material. Features such as a grubbed-out hedgerow and an infilled ditch indicated that the landscape had been altered in the recent past.
The Gables, Ewshot Lane, Ewshot, Farnham
Evaluation by O Good of WA found that part of the site had been truncated by modern activity and no archaeological finds or features were encountered.
North Park Farm Quarry, western extension
Watching brief by J Warrender, L McCaig and G Santa Maria of WA during stripping of topsoil and subsoil over several areas, encompassing c 2ha, revealed multiple features including cremation burials, pits, postholes and linear features. The cremations comprised both urned and unurned burials, provisionally dated to the Bronze Age. A number of short lengths of ditch were also recorded although they did not appear to form any coherent boundary to the mortuary activity. The cremations were generally dispersed across the area though small clusters were observed.
Kamkorp Park (former BOC site), Chertsey Road, Windlesham
Geophysical survey by J Smith of WA demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological significance (primarily ditch-like features), former field boundaries, ploughing trends, areas of increased magnetic response and superficial geology.
Former Civic Offices, Addlestone Town Centre, Addlestone
Evaluation by S Winterton of WA revealed a substantial thickness of made-ground overlying truncated natural geology. No archaeological features or deposits were observed.
Long Lane recreation ground, Stanwell
Watching brief by L McCaig of WA recorded no archaeological finds or features although the natural geology was not reached owing to the depth of modern disturbance and the limited extent of the impact of the development.
