The watching brief suggested that the installation of the pipeline did not impact on any archaeological material or features, as the greater majority of the site seemed to already have been heavily disturbed by early activities. The early OS maps examined indicated several localised areas of quarrying, most likely for gravel deposits. It was therefore possible that rubbish material was dumped on this area after the land had been subjected to quarrying in the mid to late 19th century.

Excavations revealed an undated pit cut directly into the bedrock chalk and sealed by a levelling layer lain down in advance of the construction of what appeared to be the Great Hall of Guildford Castle. Perhaps the most prominent remains of this complex were those of the western external wall - a massive construction measuring a full two metres in width. A small internal wall to the east served to delineate at least two rooms within the building and the mortar bedding from a probable robbed tile floor was found within both rooms. The abandonment of the structure appeared to have been a piecemeal affair with the probable survival of the western room after the deliberate destruction of the eastern room. Two post holes which post-dated the disuse of the Great Hall most likely represented scaffold bases related to the 19th century construction of the present building that stood on the site. These were sealed by a substantial sequence of made ground of comparable date. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM, UD 2

No in situ features of archaeological interest were identified, but a number of hand-made bricks and a large piece of late 19th century concrete were recovered. The cartographic evidence recorded the building in the late 19th century which was contemporary with the concrete block recovered and the other two identified nearby, leading to the conclusion that the building was the most probable source for the concrete blocks. The building dated to the period when the Chilworth Gunpowder Company was formed (1885) and took over the Chilworth Gunpowder Mill site.

Following an archaeological evaluation, which had uncovered the foundations of a wall in trench 4A, the unit supervised and undertook the excavation of a larger area around trench 4A, which was to be totally destroyed during the creation of a basement. The possibility that the east/west wall footings in trench 4A may have been earlier than the 17th century buildings of Wotton House was not proven during the monitoring work. Both its orientation, and its identification with one of the walls of ancillary buildings shown on Evelyns' 1653 drawing of the house, seemed to confirm, instead, that it had probably been contemporary. The most interesting feature of the monitoring work was the discovery of a buried watercourse, which must have extended below an extension built on the west wing in the 19th century. There were two possible explanations for the water feature. It may have been part of an earlier, perhaps original, course of the Tillingboune floodplain, the western edge of which had been straightened, or else it was a wholly man-made feature. Because only a small part of it was uncovered, which did not include its base or eastern back, it was impossible to be sure which of these suggestions was correct.

Several disturbances were seen to penetrate 1.5m of made ground which sealed the natural sand, but in each case they were fairly obviously of 19th or 20th century date. It was impossible to determine whether ditch 119, revealed during an earlier evaluation, continued eastwards across the site, due to the lack of controlled observation in its near vicinity, and the probability that, if present, modern disturbance had removed it over the remainder of the area.

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of six ponds and a channel. There was no evidence for anything that would be of direct archaeological interest, although the presence of deep layers of peat provided ample potential for further palaeoenvironmental work.

The site had obviously undergone a considerable degree of disturbance since the dissolution of Chertsey Abbey in 1539, itself a process which had involved the demolition of much of the abbey. Only a single, linear feature was identified, whose fill indicated that it represented a trench excavated to removed the foundations of a wall, and subsequently backfilled with the loose rubble and soil created by that process.

All areas not included in the excavation that were subject to redevelopment were recorded as part of a watching brief. No prehistoric features were recorded during the excavation. The small quantity of struck flint suggested that there was limited prehistoric activity in the area, but it was not clear how far these few residual finds had travelled, and therefore uncertain how close this site was to any settlement. A few residual Roman finds including both building material and pottery were recovered from some of the site. All this material appeared to be residual. It was reasonable to assume that if there had been Roman settlement in the vicinity of the site, then greater quantities of Roman finds would have been recovered. There was no evidence to suggest that Guildford Street was Roman in origin. A small amount of Saxon pottery was recovered from a number of features at the southern end of the site. These features suggested that there was limited Saxon activity on the site. A number of features, including a large ditch alongside Guildford Street, dated to the Saxon-Norman and early medieval periods. This discovery showed a continual use of the site from the Saxon to the post-medieval periods. A number of medieval features were recorded across the site. These took a number of forms, but were generally pits of varying size. A number of the features recorded during the work were post-medieval in date.

All areas not included in the excavation that were subject to redevelopment were recorded as part of a watching brief. No prehistoric features were recorded during the excavation. The presence of struck flint, including one piece dating to the Mesolithic period, suggested that there was prehistoric activity in the area, but it was not clear how far these residual finds had travelled, and therefore uncertain how close this site was to any settlement. A few residual Roman tile fragments were recovered from some of the post-medieval 6

features on the site. It was reasonable to assume that if there had been Roman settlement in the vicinity of the site, then greater quantities of Roman finds would have been recovered. There was no evidence to suggest that Guildford Street was Roman in origin. A number of medieval features were recorded during the excavation, although far fewer features were conclusively medieval than had been expected. Most of the features recorded during the excavation were post-medieval in date. Whilst some of the recorded features were 18th or 19th century, the majority were 15th and 16th century and showed that the site had been in use through the late medieval period onwards.

Both the height of the natural gravel, and its gradual slope down to the north-west, were unexpected. It had been thought that alluvial deposits on site would be deeper and that any reduction in height would be to the south or east towards the nearest contemporary stretches of the Wraysbury River and the Colne. As the truncated surface of the gravels was almost certainly formed by floodwater, the fall of the slope suggested that the principal axis of the watercourse that created it also lay north-west of the site. The post-medieval alluvial muds that lay above the gravels included debris from the immediate area, or a little upstream on the Wraysbury River, perhaps from Hale Mill that stood c.100m further north. The river fringe that they represented may not have been reclaimed until the 18th century, and the earliest buildings known were of the Lancasterian School, known from an 1822 map of the site. The truncated remains of some of its brick foundations and of four cess, and/or well pits were recorded. It was recommended that no further archaeological monitoring of the site need take place.

A Preliminary Post-Excavation Assessment (Project 035) Potter, G London : Compass Archaeology Ltd, 2001, 34pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Compass Archaeology Ltd This report formed a preliminary assessment of archaeological investigation undertaken on a redevelopment site. The site lay within an Area of High Archaeological Potential according to the Spelthorne Local Plan, and on the northwest edge of the medieval and early post-medieval village. Previous archaeological investigation in the area had produced some notable finds of prehistoric Roman and Saxon date, although there had been no conclusive evidence for early activity in the vicinity of the site. An initial field evaluation produced several positive findings of medieval and earlier post-medieval date, and as a consequence an archaeological watching brief was carried out during development groundworks. A number of significant archaeological features and finds assemblages were recorded from the site. It was considered that these included material of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. In particular, the site produced notable quantities of prehistoric struck flint and of both early and later medieval pottery. One inhumation of probable Roman date had also been found, plus several major features relating to medieval activity.

No features of archaeological interest were identified, but a number of finds were recovered, mainly from the spoil heap, which indicated some activity of prehistoric and later date within the area. The pieces of struck flint recovered were indicative of a low level of activity of Mid to Late Bronze Age date. The fragments of burnt flint were also evidence for prehistoric activity. The other finds, which included a Roman pot sherd, the lava quernstone fragments and the medieval/postmedieval tile fragments were probably the result of manuring the fields.

The top of a probable post-medieval stone wall was revealed, but this was outside of the area of the proposed extension and was left in situ.

A 4m wide trench was cut running adjacent to the west side of the building. No archaeological features were observed. [Au(abr)] 3/1159 (E.43.A029) TQ 3849 5222 THE OLD BELL, HIGH STREET, OLD OXTED An Archaeological Watching Brief at The Old Bell, High Street, Old Oxted Stevenson, J Woking : Surrey County Archaeological Unit, 2001, 9pp, figs, refs An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the construction of side and rear extensions, and internal alterations to the Listed Building. The most interesting feature exposed during the excavation of the footing trenches was a chalk surface. This was dated by pottery from layer 104, which was stratigraphically earlier, to the 18th century. It was likely that this was an internal surface and formed part of the post-medieval additions to the building that were visible on the tithe map of 1841. A large greensand block visible in the same section did not appear to represent an in situ wall, although it was possible that they originally came from one. Layers 102, 104 and 106 were late post-medieval soils, dateable from tile and pottery type. The results of the watching brief on the internal structure of the building broadly confirmed the conclusions of the earlier building report which stated that the oldest surviving section of the Old Bell was architecturally and stylistically dated to the 15th century. An addition to the eastern exterior wall of the 15th century building was cited in the report and was also clearly visible during the watching brief.

An Archaeological Watching Brief at the 23-24 West St, Farnham, Redevelopment Poulton, R Woking : Surrey County Archaeological Unit, 2001, 12pp, figs, refs An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the redevelopment of the site. It was clear from these observations that deep modern disturbance was likley to have removed any near surface archaeology in the area of the new build; the works did not involve any deep excavations which would have revealed any deep lying deposits of interest. Works in the garden area were all comparatively shallow, and none revealed anything other than topsoil which had been disturbed in the modern era.

Farnham, Surrey Shaikhley, N Woking : Surrey County Archaeological Unit, 2002, 11pp, pls, figs, tabs, refs A watching brief and photographic survey was carried out during development of the site. The lack of archaeological material identified during the archaeological watching brief suggested that little or no earlier (prehistoric, Roman or medieval) activity had occurred in the vicinity of the development site, or at least, was certainly not disturbed by the groundworks carried out during the development work. The photographic survey provided a lasting record of the former Dippenhall House and associated structures. No evidence was revealed to suggest that the earlier cottage structure, which adjoined the main house, was part of a larger earlier house on this site, which was later removed.
