Henley Fort, Guildford

Watching brief and photographic survey by N Shaikhley and G Pattison of SCAU during works to repair and consolidate the roof structure. Water ingress having proved to be problematic for some years, the decision was taken to almost completely remove the earth bank covering the fort and undertake comprehensive repairs, which gave access to the exterior of the fort structure for the first time since its initial construction

Manor Park, Guildford

Watching brief by A Weale of TVAS during works on the construction of new sports pitches for the University of Surrey. A small number of postholes and pits containing pottery of a Middle–Late Bronze Age date were revealed, together with environmental evidence and charcoal fragments, which radiocarbon dating indicated was deposited around 1416–1292 BC. A medieval ditch was also recorded, running through the centre of the site. See TVAS monograph 11

Hatch Furlong, Ewell

Second season of excavation led by H Sheldon of BC and J Cotton of EEHAS, on an area of higher ground overlooking the Roman settlement of Ewell and Stane Street and where traces of Roman activity were located in the 1970s. Four trenches were opened in a line running north–south between those excavated in 2006.
