7-7a Vicarage Road, Egham
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.
Roman
Chertsey Revitalization Scheme, Chertsey
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).
Coldharbour Lane, Thorpe
Watching brief and subsequent excavation by J Robertson of SCAU of an Early Bronze Age ring ditch, probably originally surrounding a barrow. Two inhumations were found at the base of the ditch, and Neolithic flintwork, Roman ditches, and Saxon pits were also discovered. (355)
Tattenham Way Allotments, Banstead
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.
Puttenham Common landscape survey (vol 1)
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 should be designated as an ASHLV. Both documentary research and fieldwork added greatly to existing knowledge and confirmed the reports of later 19th century antiquarians who had identified extensive prehistoric and Roman activity in the area.
Banstead Heath landscape survey
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.
Walton Heath
Watching brief by P Harp of Plateau recorded three dumps of Romano-British material recently redeposited from Walton Heath villa, comprising approximately 300 tesserae, several sherds of terra sigillata, Pompeian redware, Alice Holt-type pottery and numerous tile fragments, some of which were relief patterned.
Mickleham Downs
Excavation by J English of SyAS as part of an ongoing landscape survey. Plough marks were noted, but thought to be a result of Second World War activities despite small amounts of prehistoric and Romano-British pottery being recovered. Further trenches recovered larger quantities of pottery, and noted two postholes (not excavated) suggestive of a Romano-British settlement in the vicinity. (354)
Runfold Farm, Farnham
Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU of a further area of the quarry. A small number of 18th century ditches were recorded, together with two of a probable Roman date, although the dating evidence to support this hypothesis may be residual in origin.
Whitebeech, Chiddingfold
Fieldwalking survey by T Howe of SCC. A training exercise in conjunction with D & A Graham of SyAS catalogued a large amount of material, the results of which were plotted out to identify more precisely the location of the large Roman villa complex, known to exist in the area following excavations in 1888-9. Evidence for a probable Mesolithic site was also identified. (362)
