Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to the construction of a new wing. No features of significance were revealed, although Roman and Medieval material was recovered from the topsoil.

Watching brief carried out by S Hind of SCAU on the creation of a hand rail alongside an existing footpath did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief carried out by R Poulton of SCAU, on remedial footpath and drainage works. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed, most likely due to the largely superficial nature of the works.

Watching brief carried out by T Howe of SCC on the site of a rear extension revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Investigation by SIHG has revealed a further tile kiln type on the site. The ‘1938 separate-feed kiln’ is the seventh type of kiln to be recorded at the limeworks site. (343)

Fieldwalking, field reconnaissance, geohysical survey, and monitoring of groundworks by NA in advance of, and during, the creation of new pipeline. Awaiting report on fieldwork.

Survey undertaken under the direction of C Currie of CKCA, as part of the Community Archaeology Project, for SCC and SyAS, to assess whether the study area was suitable for designation as an Area of Special Historic Landscape Value (ASHLV). Both documentary research and fieldwork added greatly to our knowledge of these areas, and for a fuller summary of results, see Bulletin 345.

Evaluation by G Bruce of AOC in advance of office redevelopment revealed post-medieval pits and post-holes. The nature of the features encountered confirm the view, from post-medieval cartographic sources, that the part of the site to be redeveloped was predominantly open ground, at the rear of the street frontage. A small assemblage of worked flint was also recovered, and whilst it is residual and not possible to date, does add to the general picture of prehistoric activity within Leatherhead.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU on the site of a new residential development, revealed no finds or features of archaeological significance.

Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.
