Manor Park, Guildford

Evaluation and watching brief by J Pine of TVAS on further areas of the proposed University of Surrey expansion site, following the previous evaluation and excavation works in 2002 and 2003. The evaluation produced evidence for Early to Middle Bronze Age activity, in the form of isolated pits. Medieval activity was also noted, in the form of pits, ditches and a possible hearth. Given their proximity to the nearby moated site of Manor Farm, it is assumed that they are associated with activity relating to this site, although the dating evidence was not clear. The majority of the watching brief work took place within the extended area evaluated in 2002 by WA, and revealed pits of possible Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date, as well as a flint trackway, a well, and ditches of post-medieval date.
