Land to south of 17 High Street, Old Oxted
Evaluation by K Grant of ASE revealed evidence of previous truncation across the site, but no finds or features of archaeological interest related to either medieval backland or other activity.
Land at Foxlease, Upper Court Road, Woldingham
Evaluation by D Hopkinson of ASE revealed a wall foundation and two postholes of post-medieval date thought to relate to the property currently on the site.
Hawthorns School, Pendell Court, Bletchingley
Completion of watching brief begun in 2010 by N Randall of SCAU which revealed a series of broad ditches that may represent land boundaries predating the construction of Pendell Court on the site in c1624, and finds of Mesolithic, Neolithic or Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date.
Fields to the north, east and south-east of Mercer’s Farm, Nutfield
Geophysical survey by J Adcock of GSB revealed a series of linear anomalies forming what appear to be small enclosures at the edge of a spread of strong responses that suggest the presence of fired materials or ferrous-rich deposits, anomalies interpreted as former field boundaries, and numerous linear trends deemed to be of agricultural origin. Little was detected in the region of the Mesolithic/Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scatter identified by TVAS during fieldwalking in 2010, although the typical ephemeral nature of pre-Bronze Age sites may explain the reason for this.
Lingfield Park Squash Club, Racecourse Road, Lingfield
Evaluation by S Wallis of TVAS revealed over twenty deep rectangular tanks. Historic maps illustrate that the site was formerly occupied by a 19th century tannery, and the tanks were almost certainly once part of this complex. Many were timber lined, and all appeared to have been deliberately backfilled prior to the demolition of the tannery buildings in the early 20th century. No artefacts or deposits pre-dating the 19th century were identified.
Land at the former Hurstridge Products site, Crowhurst Road, Crowhurst Lane End
Evaluation by D Hopkinson of ASE revealed three shallow linear ditches and a posthole of probable post-medieval date, and evidence that the eastern part of the site had been subject to horizontal truncation which had removed the topsoil and subsoil.
Land at Charters Towers, Baldwins Hill, Dormans Park
Evaluation by D Britchfield of WA did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.
Anchor Cottages, Eastbourne Road, Blindley Heath
Evaluation by N Garland of ASE in advance of the first phase of development of a site adjoining the postulated route of the London-Brighton Roman road. The evaluation revealed a ditch, whose loose fill and evidence of modern intrusions within an environmental sample indicate a feature of recent date, but no evidence of the road or associated activity.
Redhill Aerodrome, Kings Mill Lane, South Nutfield
Magnetometer Survey by D Sabin of Archaeological Surveys Ltd revealed evidence of former field boundaries, together with some evidence of former agricultural activity, possibly ridge and furrow, and a number of anomalies that it was not possible to confidently interpret.
Land to the north of Shepperton Studios (Thames Water Land), Land to the north of Shepperton Studios (Thames Water Land), Shepperton
Limited evaluation by R Humphrey of PCA in order to inform decisions about use and management of the site revealed linear features likely to be the remnants of post-medieval ploughing, and recovered residual burnt and worked prehistoric flints and medieval and post-medieval ceramic building material and pottery.
