Farnham Castle fireplace discovery, 1991
Recording by D Graham of SyAS of a fireplace of probable 16th century exposed during building works.
Farnham Castle, new footpath 2015
Resistivity survey and trial trenching by D Graham of SyAS in advance of the construction of a new footpath from the postern gate to the buildings of the bailey. Both trenches contained disturbed ground with 19th century and later material. The resistivity survey showed a rectangular anomaly that may be the corner of the medieval gate tower.
Frensham Church burial vault, 1987
A 19th century burial vault was discovered in the churchyard in August 1987 when a section of pathway collapsed leaving a 1m-wide circular hole. Members of the local archaeological group, led by D Graham of SyAS, were allowed to record the vault before it was backfilled with sand to render it safe.
