White Cottage, Chapel Hill, Effingham
Evaluation by D Milbank of TVAS revealed a single linear feature that contained a small quantity of pottery of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date and a small assemblage of struck flints.
Dunley Hill Camp, Crocknorth Road, Effingham
A metal detector survey by T Schofield and M Sommers of Suffolk Archaeology Community Interest Company recovered artefacts including munitions and domestic items within the partially extant buildings of the former Second World War military camp.
Walsham Weir, Ripley
Test pit evaluation by R Bradley of Worcestershire Archaeology along the proposed route of a fish pass revealed a series of archaeological deposits forming an alluvial sequence consistent with the location of the site in a waterlogged landscape, adjacent to a managed watercourse. While the dating of the alluvial formation remains uncertain, with the exception of a single prehistoric flint flake, the majority of the diagnostic finds from the test pits related to activity from the mid-18th to early 20th centuries.
Lindon Farm, Alfold
Evaluation by T Collie of SCAU. The results show prehistoric and/or medieval or early post-medieval activity across the area. Most of the features were identified in trenches located across the western half of the southern field, and they include a number of substantial ditches of probable medieval or early post-medieval date.
St Peters Roman Catholic School, Horseshoe Lane East, Merrow
Evaluation by W Weller of SCAU revealed no archaeological features. Some finds were recovered from the subsoil and spoil heaps including a small amount of struck flint and post-medieval/modern ceramics.
Land to the east of former Fire Station, Ladymead, Guildford
Strip, map and record excavation and watching brief by S Westall of AOC revealed a layer of loose, light brown sand, 0.13–0.24m thick, containing a large quantity of worked Mesolithic flints; none were in situ, having been deposited through colluvial or fluvial activity. Two ditches of Roman or possibly medieval date and a Saxon pit were also recorded.
Land at Wey Corner, Guildford
Evaluation by G Webster of ASE. Although some possible alluvial material was identified in small areas, the site was severely truncated and contaminated by modern material. No archaeologically significant finds, features or deposits were identified.
Guildford Park Road, surface car park, Guildford
Evaluation by P Spencer of HA showed that ground levels within the site had been reduced. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.
Cobbett Hill Earth Station, Cobbett Hill Road, Guildford
Historic building recording by S Angell of CBAS. The extant buildings appear to date from the Second World War and follow a fairly standard ‘ministry building’ form, although most have been considerably modified. Many associated buildings are known to have been demolished as the function of the site changed.
Land at Minley Nursery, Spoil Lane, Tongham
Evaluation by P Capps of WA revealed no archaeological features or deposits. Anomalies identified in a previous geophysical survey were revealed to be modern land drains and their associated cuts. The evaluation did reveal a redeposited clay layer relating to the construction of the 19th century railway embankment that runs along the south-eastern edge of the site.
