Continuation of the watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU. No other features of interest were revealed, with much of the site appearing to have been disturbed considerably in the post-dissolution period.

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

Excavation by G Hayman of SCAU prior to the construction of an extension. The earliest material encountered was a few small fragments of Roman brick and pottery. This was thought to be residual in origin, although its presence continues to support the supposition that a site of this date exists somewhere in the town. Late Saxon and early Norman material was also found in a reworked agricultural horizon. No evidence for activity between the 4th and 10th centuries was found, which is consistent with evidence from other sites nearby.

Watching brief by T Howe of SCC during the construction of an extension revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by T Howe of SCC during the excavation of foundations for a new house. A roughly constructed 19th century garden wall was revealed running east-west through the plot. The feature was of considerable interest however, as it was constructed from sandstone blocks, apparently re-used following the demolition of nearby Chertsey Abbey.

Watching brief by S Hammond and S Coles of TVAS following evaluation in 1999 revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by T Howe of SCC during excavation of foundation trenches revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU on the site of a proposed extension to the quarry. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Watching brief by G Jackson of SCC during construction of an extension within the footprint of the earthwork enclosure in Woodmansterne did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by C Currie of CKCA during conversion of farm buildings to residential use, following on from a standing building survey in 2001. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed. A possible moated site appears on the Sites and Monuments Record just to the north-east of the farm. A number of water-filled hollows indicative of quarrying were noted in this area, but no evidence for a moat was forthcoming, suggesting the feature may be a result of antiquarian conjecture.
