Coombe Cottage, Haslemere
Evaluation by N Randall of SCAU revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.
45 Castle Street, Farnham
Evaluation and watching brief by D and A Graham of SyAS. Little evidence for domestic occupation of the site prior to the 18th century was revealed, although geophysical survey showed an anomaly that might represent the line of the medieval former town ditch. However, examination of this possibility was beyond the scope of the investigation. Contractors' footings elsewhere on the site provided evidence that suggested some areas had been extensively terraced.
23 Castle Street, Farnham
Watching brief by D and A Graham of SyAS. Evidence was noted that suggested the existing southern brick boundary wall of the site was built over, and followed the alignment of, a medieval ditch that probably marked the line of the original burgage plot, although evidence for a 15th-16th century structure across the feature suggested that the boundary was not a continuous survival, but had been reinstated at a later date.
The Old Forge, Upper Church Lane, Farnham
Watching brief by D Graham of SyAS. The foundation trenches were filled with concrete prior to the site visit and little evidence of archaeological significance was revealed.
10 Castle Street, Farnham
Watching brief by D and A Graham of SyAS. Evidence for extensive terracing of the site in a period pre-dating the construction of the existing building (which dates to c1729) was noted. No evidence for any earlier activity was present.
Malt House Cottage, West Street, Farnham
Watching brief by A Graham of SyAS. Two possible quarry pits of likely 18th/19th century date were revealed.
Potters Gate School, Farnham
Watching brief by N Randall of SCAU during geotechnical works. The exercise was limited and no features of archaeological significance were encountered, although the recovery of a small number of possible Neolithic flints was suggestive of activity of this period in the area.
Hindhead Reservoir, Hindhead
Soil stripping, mapping and sampling by J Warrender of KAP, a continuation of archaeological monitoring that commenced in 2010. A single pit containing no dating evidence, but characteristic of a modern, probably 20th century feature, was revealed.
Doghurst House, Grants Lane, Limpsfield
Monitoring by Z Pozorski of AS undertaken during floor level reduction within a timber-framed structure believed to be largely of 15th and 16th century date, with 19th and 20th century alterations, but the core of which is thought to be medieval. The monitoring revealed earlier floor layers, and the remains of a hearth constructed of peg tiles dated to the 15th and 17th centuries. Historic building recording undertaken by M Higgins of SCC during refurbishment and extension revealed the two earliest phases of its development to be c1425 and c1475.
Titsey Park, Titsey
Geophysical survey and standing remains recording by D Calow, A Hall and N Cowlard of SyAS. The geophysical survey was hampered by tree cover, but confirmed the existence of a second building to the east and suggested a series of hitherto unknown anomalies that might represent ditches, as well as indicating that demolition deposits could extend over a considerable area.
