Evaluation by G Beresford for Broadway Malyan of the area around the 19th house, Castle Keep, within the bailey of Reigate Castle. Layers and features associated with outbuildings and subsidiary dwellings of 13th century date were recorded.

Evaluation and watching brief by the South-East London Archaeological Unit of the former school site, for Rydon Construction Ltd. The site lies just outside the area of the medieval town of Reigate and adjacent to Reigate Castle. Two small gullies of 13th to 14th century date and a pit of similar date were recorded. The medieval features are suggested to relate to expansion of the town westward in the 13th and 14th centuries. The site was used subsequently as farmland. (305)

A watching brief by D W Williams on works to the rear of the building, which dates to c1600, recorded two small pits, one of which contained pottery dating to c1400. (294)

Evaluation by S Dyer of SCAU for Roberts & Baker Architects, of land to the rear of nos 19-21 proposed for redevelopment, found that the area had been disturbed in modern times; the only archaeological feature recorded was the foundations of a 19th century outbuilding. (289)

Evaluation by S Dyer of SCAU for Owens Galliver Architects, of an area proposed for redevelopment, revealed a ditch containing 15th century pottery running at right angles to the street frontage. It seems likely that this represents the division between two formally laid out burgage plots, which were not actually built on until much later. A subsequent watching brief recorded more of the ditch but no further evidence for its date or purpose was found. (289)

Drainage and remodelling works on one of the greens disturbed some 235 fragments of brick tesserae, a quantity of roofing and roller-stamped hypocaust tile and a few pottery sherds, recovered by T Mann and recorded by D W Williams. (289)

Evaluation by South-Eastern Archaeological Services for Rushmon Ltd of a residential site within the centre of the village. No features or finds earlier than the 18th century were identified, although two postholes could not be dated. (291)

Evaluation by Sutton Archaeological Services for Linden Homes South-East Ltd of the hospital site, formerly the site of an 18th and 19th century Poor House, found that much of the site had been extensively disturbed. The only archaeological features observed were a series of 18th century field drains.

Limited excavation by D W Williams within this standing building recorded features uncovered during building works. The remains were interpreted as part of the front wall and doorway of an earlier building with an external cobbled surface, from which a number of finds, no earlier than mid-17th century in date, were recovered. (289)

A watching brief by S Dyer of SCAU for Admiral Homes Ltd recorded a number of narrow ditches, probably field boundaries. No dating evidence was recovered from these, but some medieval pottery was recovered from the spoil. (289)
