Photographic survey by E Gundry for SIHG of a walking stick factory prior to demolition.
24 Petworth Road, Haselmere
Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU, for Overson Ltd, in advance of residential development. A shallow gully was revealed, aligned approximately north east-south west. Excavation produced a white ware rim sherd and several sandy ware sherds of later medieval date. It seems likely that this feature represents an earlier demarcation of the boundary of this plot, possibly as part of the setting out of the town
Land off 11 Nutshell Lane, Farnham
Evaluation and watching brief by M Dover of SCAU, on behalf of David James Contracts, revealed three narrow gullies. One of the gullies produced two sherds of Roman grey ware pottery. The fills of the features were very similar and it could be that the two remaining gullies are of Roman date, although this remains uncertain. The paucity of finds from these features, and the absence of other finds or features during the evaluation and watching brief, would suggest that these are boundary features at some distance from any occupation area.
Runfold Farm, near Badshot Lea
Following evaluation in 1997, a series of watching briefs was carried out by N Marples of SCAU, for Pioneer Aggregates Ltd, on preliminary soil stripping of part of this mineral extraction site. Part of a rectilinear field system was recorded: three interconnected boundary features running east-west were identified together with a series of re-cut ditches running north-south, which delimited the eastern end of the grid. The date of the field system is unclear.
Tilford Bridge
Watching brief by G Pattison of SCAU, following an earlier watching brief and standing structure survey, during alterations to the medieval bridge.
St. Georges Vicarage, Badshot Lea
Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, for Lacey Simmons Ltd, revealed no significant finds or features.
54 Waverley Lane, Farnham
Watching briefs carried out by D Graham of SyAS during the construction of extensions did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.
Broomleaf Road, Farnham
Inspection of spoil by D Graham of SyAS from the foundation trenches for an extension revealed no archaeological material.
Farnham Park, Farnham
A landscape survey, including some limited trial trenching, was carried out by D Graham for Waverley Borough Council, as part of a programme designed to assisst with the management of the park. The initial ground survey recorded the remains of open field systems in the form of ridge and furrow strips of probable medieval date, including one apparently overlain by the park’s boundary, established in 1376-77. Evidence for industrial activity was seen in the form of small clay diggings, some of which were close to the site of a previously discovered medieval tile kiln.
Hatch Mill, Farnham
Evaluation by C Currie, for Abbeyfield (Wey Valley) Society Ltd, in advance of residential development adjacent to the mill. Large scale modern disturbance was revealed. A crude wall of mid 19th century date is thought to be a revetment to the former mill stream. The wall contained re-used stone, apparently from an ecclesiastical building, including a fine late 12th or 13th century carved capital.
