90 High Street, Ewell
Probable pre-19th century well recorded (in December 1981) by M Exwood; the top metre was lined with bricks, with chalk blocks below this. The well was not cleared.

A trial trench by S Nelson for NAS [now EEHAS] revealed a small part of a flint rubble wall foundation and a gravel surface, possibly RB.
Painshill Park
Excavation of a folly, a ‘ruined Abbey’, by Sarah Peterson for Painshill Park Trust Ltd. At least three major phases recorded: (i) a rectangular brick building with underfloor heating of the early to mid-18th century; (ii) the building partly demolished and partly reused with the later 18th century ‘Abbey’ facade; (iii) the original building’s remaining walls robbed out in the mid-19th century (?).
Pyrford Marina
Construction observed by Mayford and Woking History Society without result; reported by Nancy Hawkins.
Sutton Park
Further excavation by D G Bird for SCC and SyAS concentrated on the medieval building found in 1982. Two walls were located and a sequence of three tile hearths. South of this building were two areas of heavily burnt clay, one overlying a ditch whose top fill contained a great deal of pottery. Part of a second building was also found to the east. (187)
Witley Church
Excavation by J R Turner for Haslemere Group of SyAS of part of the south side of the nave revealed no trace of a previous church, but it was not possible to dig right alongside the south wall footing. A series of greensand floors, some lime-washed, were noted, and tentatively dated from the 12th to the mid-13th centuries. (187)
Ansteadbrook
Possible glass slag found in fieldwalking by the Haslemere Group of SyAS could locate a furnace site known to be somewhere in this area. Occupation evidence and glazed tile could be from a smithy known to be here from map evidence.
North Park Farm, Bletchingley
Excavation of part of the earthwork known as Little Pickle by R J Poulton for SCC and British Industrial Sand Ltd, in advance of sand extraction, revealed that the bank and ditch of this rectangular earthwork were probably constructed in the late 15th century. Large quantities of roof tile from trenches within the earthwork suggest the presence of buildings there. Outside the earthwork, some 50m to the south, building foundations were discovered.
B1echingley Castle
Excavation by D J Turner continued; a possibly late 11th century construction date is now suggested by the pottery.
48–54 High Street, Bagshot
Trial excavation by C H Cole for the Surrey Heath Group of SyAS produced evidence of occupation from the 13th/14th centuries to the present. Finds included a nearly complete late 16th century shoe. (184) In further excavation the earliest levels seen were a medieval trampled layer cut by a boundary and/or drainage ditch and by a 16th century building of two phases which was demolished in the mid-17th century.
