Evaluation and excavation by P Boyer of PCA prior to residential development. Extensive horizontal truncation, probably dating to the establishment of the barracks during World War II, was found across the majority of the site. However, a Roman enclosure dating to the mid/late 1st century AD was revealed, which probably formed part of a wider agricultural landscape. Later 17th and 18th century agricultural features were also identified in the same area, which appeared to have escaped the truncation evident across the rest of the site.

Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU prior to a residential development. Two pits of likely prehistoric origin, containing large amounts of charcoal and burnt flints, were found, although no definitive dating material was present. No evidence for Roman activity was seen despite the proximity of the villa site just to the south-west. A compact layer of building rubble seen in three trenches was thought to relate to the demolition of an 18th century farmstead that is known to have existed here.

Watching brief by J Stevenson of ASE carried out during groundworks associated with the development of a new sports buildings and pitch revealed the site of a probable Second World War air raid shelter, and identified some dressed chalk blocks re-used as foundations in the site’s western boundary wall.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to alterations and extensions to the property. A wall foundation and well constructed from chalk blocks were recorded. No dating evidence was found, although they were thought to be remnants of the Green Man Inn, which stood on the site until the mid 18th century. The well had been sealed by a brick capping at some point. A number of later Post-Medieval features were also revealed.

Excavation and a watching brief during piling by J Pine of TVAS, following on from evaluation last year, revealed some truncation but also pits probably of early Medieval date, a later Medieval wood-lined well, and a chalk-lined latrine or cess pit of similar date. This was filled with dump deposits including pottery, bone, metalwork of both iron and copper alloy, and glass. In the base of one of the lift pits the top of chalk walls of similar dimensions were revealed, and it is probable that this was also a latrine or cess pit.

Evaluation by A Holmes of OA in an area proposed for the construction of sports pitches. Possible prehistoric hearth pits and a ditch, together with a Medieval boundary ditch probably associated with the Royal Deer Park, and evidence for a Post-Medieval trackway were encountered, although the general density of features was low. No evidence for a postulated Roman road running through the site was seen, although a band of natural gravel was seen in the approximate location, which likely accounts for previously recorded geophysical anomalies across the area.

Watching brief by A Stevenson of AOC following a 2001 evaluation. Despite the proximity of Frowsbury Mound - a large barrow of probable Neolithic or Bronze Age date - no finds or features of interest were revealed.

Remedial excavations by D Graham of SyAS on behalf of EH following a series of overnight raids by treasure hunters on the site of the Romano-Celtic temple. The illegal activity was found to have destroyed a length of the ambulatory wall, and had damaged associated archaeological levels. (361)

Excavation by members of SyAS and the North East Hampshire Archaeological Society to investigate the nature of a linear soil mark identified on a 1948 aerial photograph. Two sections were excavated of what has been interpreted as a World War II anti-tank ditch. (359, 360)

Fieldwork and excavation by Ann Watson and D G Bird for SCC and SyAS examined a number of parallel ridges; one was, sectioned where it had previously been cut by a sand pit. There was no evidence for iron-winning as has been suggested in the past, but a series of parallel grooves in the ditch between the ridges might have been made by cart ruts or plough marks. (177)
