Watching brief by R Poulton and M Dover of SCAU during remedial works to a post-medieval wall. Earlier walls were revealed, possibly relating to the Great Hall of the 12th and 13th century royal palace

Evaluation by N Rosenberg of JSAC revealed no features of archaeological interest. A small amount of medieval pottery recovered was thought to have been deposited during manuring in the medieval period.

Watching brief by K Sabel of PCA on geotechnical trial pits. Evidence for the 17th-18th century origins of the building were revealed, including earlier foundations, drainage and timber flooring. Remains pre-dating Waterloo House were also revealed, in the form of surviving post-medieval layers and residual medieval building material. Considerable evidence of Saxon/Early Medieval occupation was recovered also.

Evaluation by N Roycroft of MoLAS in advance of redevelopment revealed a ploughed soil containing occasional sherds of medieval pottery; and two linear features that may have formed a property boundary, and seem to be associated with three cesspits dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The structures relating to the post-medieval features were not located during the evaluation, probably because they are associated with the street frontages of Church Street and possibly Bridge Street.

Historic building recording by C Currie of CKCA prior to alteration, revealed evidence for the evolution of a building that began as a late medieval hall house.

Survey undertaken under the direction of C Currie of CKCA, as part of the Community Archaeology Project for SCC and SyAS, to assess whether the study area was suitable for designation as an ASHLV. Both documentary research and fieldwork have added to existing knowledge of the area, and work is continuing in 2002.

Excavation by C Challis and S Coles of TVAS following an evaluation of the site in 2000. The excavations took place on the west bank of the river Wraysbury in an area thought to have been an island in times of flood, and exposed features comprising pits, postholes, ditches and a possible enclosed area. Features can be provisionally dated to the early medieval period (11th--12th century), but pottery of Roman and early to middle Saxon date was also recovered.

An initial evaluation by G Potter of CA revealed archaeology of medieval and post-medieval date. A subsequent watching brief identified similar finds and features from these periods, including the ground plan of a small post-medieval cottage. Although at present only provisional dates are available, several features appear to relate to the Roman period including a significant length of ditch. A single inhumation in a square burial pit was also excavated. The skeleton has been dated to the Iron Age, and belongs to a female in her late 40s.

Watching brief carried out by J Robertson of SCAU during work on drainage trenches and soakaway pits for a new all-weather sports surface. The narrow width of the trenches made it difficult to check for the presence of features, and only a sherd of Roman pottery was recovered from the subsoil of one of the soakaway pits. A number of finds, which included several pieces of struck flint, fragments of burnt flint, a lava quernstone fragment, and medieval or post-medieval tile, were retrieved from the spoil heaps.
