Middlemead Estate, Little Bookham
Evaluation by J Payne of SCAU on the second of three phases of development revealed a single linear ditch of probable post-medieval date that may equate to a field boundary shown on the c1840 tithe map.
Land to the rear of Photo-Me, Church Road, Great Bookham
Evaluation by D Milbank and L Esteves of TVAS recorded made-ground across much of the site. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.
Cocks Farm villa, Abinger
Further excavation by the Roman Studies Group of SyAS, directed by E Corke and D Bird to the north-east of the Scheduled Roman villa, recorded considerable quantities of unstratified Mesolithic and Neolithic struck flint from across the site. A possible Bronze Age barrow ditch and two adjacent pits, again of probable Bronze Age date and thought to represent inhumations where no bone has survived, were also revealed. Iron Age features in the form of a curvilinear enclosure ditch and a number of pits were recorded.
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.
