Whiteley Village, Weybridge

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU of further areas of the site, following previous work over the last two years on another part of the Whiteley Village redevelopment. Five trenches were excavated, but only one ditch of possible antiquity was revealed. The ditch could not be dated securely but a possible Bronze Age flint recovered from the fill may point to a prehistoric origin.

Brooklands Race Track, Weybridge

Evaluation and monitoring of excavation of geotechnical pits by D Score of OA as part of a programme of investigation in advance of proposed redevelopment of part of the interior of the Scheduled Monument. The evaluation and geotechnical pits revealed widespread truncation, an undated ditch, and a residual flint thought to be a Mesolithic projectile point.

Chatley Farm, Cobham

Field survey by A and D Graham and members of SyAS around the site of a bath house of 4th century date excavated by S Frere in 1949. The concentrations of Roman material recovered originate from the bath house, and there were no other indications of further buildings being present, thus confirming earlier conclusions that any villa is likely to have been washed away by the action of the nearby river.

Rowly Drive, Rowly (centred)

Watching brief by T Munnery of SCAU during the excavations for a water pipeline. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed. A metal detector survey carried out simultaneously along the pipeline route recovered fragments of metalwork associated with the site of a German Junkers 88 aircraft, which was shot down and crashed nearby in April 1941. The actual site of the crash was, however, some distance from the pipeline route.
