First stages of evaluation of area carried out by G Hayman for SCC and Trafalgar Brookmount in advance of gravel extraction.

Geophysical survey by S P Dyer for SCAU and Redlands, without positive result.

Following evaluation two sites were excavated by G N Hayman for SCAU and Trafalgar Brookmount in advance of gravel extraction. A small Iron Age settlement site, represented mostly by large storage pits, was found on the site of the former Hollick Farm. The settlement represented by the farm itself was found to have begun in the early medieval period and continued through to the 19th century. About 750m further south a larger Iron Age site was found with a complex of features from the mid to late Iron Age; they included a large circular ditched enclosure (with a diameter of about 26m).

Correction to report in SyAC 80 (for 1988-89): E Crossland points out that in the even the did not carry out site watching at this site. It was however subsequently evaluated by trial trenching by S P Dyer for SCAU and Elmbridge Borough Council, but nothing of archaeological interest was found except one indeterminate struck flint scraper.

Evaluation by trial trenching by S P Dyer for SCAU and SCC revealed no archaeological features and only one prehistoric struck flint flake. (278)

Evaluation by trial trenching prior to redevelopment, by P M G Jones of SCAU for Croudace Homes, revealed no archaeological features.

Observation of trenches dug to prevent occupation of the site and of foundation work by S P Dyer for SCAU and Homebase Ltd produced five struck flints of Mesolithic or early Neolithic type; no features were located but the flints are thought to indicate a nearby site (279)

Site watching on construction of a new house, by Rob Poulton of SCAU for Fromson Construction Co Canada, did not locate anything of archaeological interest in an area immediately adjacent to the hillfort.

Evaluation by trial trenching carried out by S P Dyer for SCAU and Barratt Homes failed to locate anything of archaeological interest. There was no surviving evidence for the historic landscape known from map evidence. (279)
