Medieval

1066-1600

71 - 73 High Street, Guildford

Conclusion of archaeological monitoring by J Pine of TVAS, following evaluation and excavation in 2001 and 2002. Little of interest was noted during piling activities on the site, although possible medieval features were recorded in excavations to create lift pits, and underpinning works revealed a chalk block wall of potential medieval date.

This property was formerly 59 - 60 Hig Street, before the High Street was re-numbered on 1st January 1961.

Bocketts Farm, Fetcham

Metal detector survey under the direction of D Williams of SCC and A and D Graham of SyAS recovered metal objects of Roman, medieval and later date, and a single pottery sherd of possible Iron Age date. The survey shed no light on the interpretation of a circular enclosure identified on aerial photographs of the site. (Bulletin 369)

1–35 and 55–66 Thamesmead, Walton-on-Thames

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU in advance of the first phase of residential redevelopment revealed a small number of unstratified struck and burnt flints, unstratified fragments of medieval/post-medieval roof tile, and a Roman cremation burial contained within an Alice Holt plain jar of late 2nd/3rd century date. It is possible that further cremations and other forms of burial may survive within the redevelopment area, and further archaeological work is planned.

Hambledon church, Hambledon

Watching brief by A Monk of SyAS (undertaken in 2006 and since reported) during church extension and alteration works. Fragmentary evidence for the earlier medieval church was noted, although this was not extensive, and the rebuilding works of 1840–6 appear to have largely removed or buried the medieval building.

Moor Park House, Farnham

Evaluation by A Taylor of TVAS revealed two post-medieval gullies and a posthole, probably relating to the former use of the site as a walled garden. A small assemblage of post-medieval pottery was recovered, together with a single sherd dating to the 11th–12th centuries.

Godalming Museum, Godalming

Report by N Cowell on dendrochronological work. Behind the Georgian and modern façade of the building lie two much older timber-framed buildings, one of which, a ‘Wealden’ house, was thought to date to about 1500. However, the dendrochronological work has shown it to date to between the Springs of 1445 and 1446. (390)
