Inspection by R Poulton of SCAU of the roof of the mobilization centre during removal of a section of earth covering it in order to trace the cause of water ingress into the building.

Evaluation by Bryan Matthews of OA in advance of residential redevelopment exposed a number of features of Roman and prehistoric date, together with a 19th/20th century horse burial. The subsequent excavation is reported on elsewhere (SyAC 91, 187–216).

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU consisting mainly of a photographic record of the Victorian bridge as it was exposed during varying stages of refurbishment works.

Standing building survey by P Reeves of TVAS prior to demolition of a fire-damaged 18th/19th century building.

Large-scale evaluation programme by A Manning of WA. Varied results were recorded, ranging from largely negative areas where no finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed, through to evidence for Neolithic activity, Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement, and post-medieval agricultural land management. Subsequent excavation revealed a significant number of pits, postholes and gullies of Late Bronze Age–Early Iron Age date.

Recording action by S Townend of AOC during development. Deposits possibly associated with the 19th century construction and current use of the windmill were observed, although the investigation was too limited to provide conclusive evidence

Watching brief by C Currie of CKCA during the breaching of the dams and draining of Rowe’s Flash and Phillimore Lakes. The remains of a suspected medieval timber revetment were revealed at Phillimore Lake, although the timbers proved unsuitable for dendrochronological analyses. The feature is probably related to the former millpond, which was enlarged in the 19th century to create the lake. Rowe’s Flash Lake was also created at this time, with the 19th century dams of both features revealed to be of relatively poor standards of construction.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU prior to development. A number of burials of 19th century date were revealed, but no activity from earlier periods was observed, with the area apparently only taken into the graveyard late in the 19th century.

Excavation by M Borrell and G Stonehouse of SyAS to attempt to locate an 18th century icehouse demolished together with Wonersh House in 1929. The work revealed substantial modern building debris, but no structural features. (371)

Geophysical survey by R Dean and C Carey of Substrata Ltd, on the site of the former mansion and gardens. Ground conditions were particularly dry, and therefore not ideal for tracing the buried structural remains of the mansion, although some variations in the readings suggested differences between the known Elizabethan part of the house and the later 19th century additions. Further structural complexity was noted, but could not be confirmed.
