Ash Green Lane water mains replacement, Tongham Moor to Pound Farm Lane, Tongham

Archaeological monitoring by E Govier of Border Archaeology Ltd revealed a series of furrows that appeared to be the result of ploughing. However, while they were considered too narrow and tightly spaced to represent open-field ridge-and-furrow cultivation, their irregular morphology did not appear to reflect modern ploughing. Pottery recovered from top- and subsoil during the strip ranged in date from the Roman to the later post-medieval/modern periods.

Mill Road, Epsom

Evaluation by L May of ASE recorded no evidence of the Roman road Stane Street, the projected route of which passed through the eastern half of the site. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Rydens Enterprise School, Hersham Road, Hersham

Evaluation by J Whelan of COT, following a largely negative ground penetrating radar survey by D Bunn of Pre-construct Geophysics Ltd, revealed two pits that produced pottery dating from the Middle to Late Bronze Age and a dispersed series of ditches that corresponded with the geophysical survey results and cartographic evidence of post-medieval field boundaries or, in one instance, a modern linear bank.

Cedar House, Mill Road, Cobham

Historic building assessment by M Higgins of SCC of a two-storey, four-bay, late 15th century timber-framed building with gables and side purlin roof. At most, one end bay was open and although no indication of original heating was evident, it was apparently in domestic use. It was probably a rear range associated with a now rebuilt house on the street frontage.
