The GMVEU recorded chalk walling in the cellar, which appears to be of great thickness. It is suggested that this could be the remains of a corner tower to the castle. (300)

A watching brief was maintained by R Poulton of SCAU on the redevelopment of this site, for the Scottish Provident Institution. Recent made ground covered the site, below which alluvial clays and sands were observed; in the deepest excavation, a peaty deposit was observed. No features or finds of archaeological interest were noted. (321)

Observation of works to this building, by the GMVEU, recorded river silts below it, which contained the skeleton of a horse. (300)

A watching brief was carried out by J Stevenson of SCAU during excavation of the foundations of two new houses, for Ebbquest Properties. A small ditch or gully was recorded but no dating evidence was recovered. (321)

A watching brief on limited building works to this 19th century mobilisation centre was carried out by R Poulton of SCAU for the Building & Property Consultancy. No features or finds of archaeological interest were noted. (321)

A report on fieldwalking by H Davies of SyAS in 1993. Four fields within the former park were covered and a variety of post-medieval finds, including Red Border Ware, were found. It is thought likely these result from manuring of the fields. (310)

Fieldwalking by GAG, led by H Davies, of fields to the north of Manor Farm revealed a concentration of Romano-British and medieval pot. Bronze Age pottery and worked flints were also recovered.

Survey by T P Smith of MoLAS of buildings to be demolished as part of the redevelopment of Eashing Mill. The buildings were the remnants of the main mill building and two conjoined cottages to the north west. The style of the mill building, and its use of two-tone brickwork, belongs to the second half of the 19th century, probably to the last quarter of that century. The cottages are so close in style to the mill building that they were almost certainly built at more or less the same time - perhaps as a single project.

Evaluation by SutAS, for the school, in advance of new building works. With the exception of a sherd of medieval pottery, no archaeological finds or features were located. However, the area had clearly been disturbed by previous development.

Geophysical surveys were undertaken by EH’s Ancient Monuments Laboratory, to assess the extent of features associated with the Roman temple. The general magnetic response was quiet, suggesting little occupation had occurred in this area; the resistivity survey recorded a number of anomalies, including a possible trackway and rubble spreads.
