Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during extensions to both properties, both of which are within the boundaries of the Scheduled Hill Fort. Some modern disturbance was evident, but no finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during demolition of the existing building and construction of a new basemented building. The site is just outside the boundaries of the Scheduled Hill Fort, and some modern disturbance was revealed, but no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by G Jackson of SCC following the excavation of foundation trenches for a new conservatory just outside the site of the Scheduled Oatlands Palace did not reveal any finds or features.

Evaluation by Geoff Potter of CA involving the excavation of six trenches. Two sherds of 11th or 12th century Medieval pottery were recovered from two ditch features in the southern part of the site, and a small fragment of 16th century decorated stove-tile (possibly from the nearby site of Oatlands Palace) in a trench to the north. The ditch features are believed to be early boundary or drainage cuts or shallow water cut channels within an agricultural landscape; and a number of narrow Post-Medieval drainage cuts observed illustrate continued farming of the site.

Two trenches excavated by RJ Poulton and MG O'Connell for SCC and Berkley Homes Ltd in advance of proposed redevelopment. No finds or features in the interior and no finds in a section of the inner rampart, but two phases noted, perhaps to be equated with previous finds of early and late IA pottery from the site.

Assessment by J Lowe of CgMs principally to establish the validity of claims for buried Second World War bunkers, thought to be a command centre, and comprising a series of rooms, possibly oak panelled and retaining furniture, fixtures and fittings. Sources indicated that the original development, dating from 1941, had included the structures, but the fieldwork aspect of the Assessment (comprising an on-site walkover and the excavation of a number of trenches) did not reveal any remains of the bunkers.

Evaluation by N Randall of SCAU revealed evidence of past disturbance associated with the former buildings that occupied the site from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries and the construction of the present houses on the site. No features of archaeological interest were revealed, but three medieval pottery sherds were recovered from the backfill of a modern drain.

Watching brief by D Williams of SCAU during the excavation of an easement strip for the installation of a new pipeline revealed a small quantity of struck and burnt flints of prehistoric date deposited in the topsoil. A metal detector survey did not recover any finds dated to earlier than the 19th century.
