Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU in advance of commercial and residential redevelopment. A single undated linear feature, likely to be prehistoric, was revealed, although generally the site had undergone large-scale truncation in the past. A subsequent excavation revealed gullies and ditches belonging to settlement enclosures, a number of pits, and a large waterhole. Pottery, including large parts of individual vessels, as well as loomweights and other finds dating to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age transition were recovered.

Watching brief by P Boyer of HAT during construction of a new supermarket. No archaeological finds or features were reported.

Watching brief by J Lander on behalf of EH during excavations for the foundations of a new garage revealed redeposited modern material, but no evidence of activity relating to the abbey.

Watching brief by J Lander on behalf of EH revealed redeposited building material from the original construction of the house in the 1950s, but no evidence of activity relating to the abbey.

Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of an extension. A linear feature observed in two sections appeared to be a robber trench relating to the demolition of the abbey. The location of the feature corresponded with the supposed position of the abbey Cloister Walk, although its dimensions were not consistent with this interpretation. It was thought more likely to represent the remains of a pentice wall.

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU revealed that the site has been heavily disturbed from the post-medieval period onwards.

Evaluation, excavation and watching brief by D Palmer of AOC, as part of the ongoing revitalization project. Two large sites were investigated, to the west and east of Guildford Road, just to the north of Chertsey Station (phases 7 and 8 respectively).

Watching brief and subsequent excavation by J Robertson of SCAU of an Early Bronze Age ring ditch, probably originally surrounding a barrow. Two inhumations were found at the base of the ditch, and Neolithic flintwork, Roman ditches, and Saxon pits were also discovered. (355)
