Evaluation by S Ford of TVAS prior to residential redevelopment revealed no features of archaeological interest, although a few sherds of residual Roman and medieval pottery were recovered.

Test pitting by S Johnson of JSAC prior to redevelopment revealed features of potential early medieval date, although firm conclusions as to the nature of the site were difficult to make owing to the limited nature of the exercise.

Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of an extension. A linear feature observed in two sections appeared to be a robber trench relating to the demolition of the abbey. The location of the feature corresponded with the supposed position of the abbey Cloister Walk, although its dimensions were not consistent with this interpretation. It was thought more likely to represent the remains of a pentice wall.

Evaluation, excavation and watching brief by D Palmer of AOC, as part of the ongoing revitalization project. Two large sites were investigated, to the west and east of Guildford Road, just to the north of Chertsey Station (phases 7 and 8 respectively).

Continuing excavation and fieldwalking by Plateau recovered further finds of worked flint of Lower Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age date, while pottery dating to the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods was also found. A large Neolithic or Bronze Age leaf-shaped arrowhead and a probable Bronze Age pendant were among the finds. Features on the site included a probable late Roman farmstead enclosure, and a Mesolithic tree-throw pit shelter with rubbish pit.

Excavation by Plateau to investigate the site of a building shown on the 1819 estate plan, which may have been the medieval church of Burgh. A small trench revealed a chalk floor resting above a pebble floor, of either medieval or post-medieval date.

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 added greatly to existing knowledge of the area, and highlighted the presence of a range of archaeological remains dating from the Palaeolithic through to the Second World War.

A sketch survey, fieldwalking and a programme of metal detecting carried out and overseen by D Williams of a medieval site excavated, but not written up, in 1972. Apart from two Bronze Age sherds, the material recovered mostly dates from the medieval period onwards. The site appears to consist of one building, at least partly of stone construction under a tiled roof, and it is possible that it may be connected in some way with a possible stone quarry that lies c 400m to the north.

Landscape assessment by N Bannister for the Woodlands Trust. The shape of the wood was found to have remained unaltered for over 200 years, with the perimeter bounded by substantial banks. A sawpit, holloway and a former embanked pond were identified within the wood, as well as numerous wood banks. A rounded bank and accompanying ditch, which appear to bear no relationship to the woodland and wood banks, may represent the remains of a territorial boundary, possibly part of the medieval park of Ewood.
