Eastgate House, Guildford

Watching brief by R Fitzpatrick of WA on pile augering works. Previous evaluation in 2007 had identified medieval and post-medieval deposits on the site. Further post-medieval deposits were identified, at greater depths than the evaluation had suggested, and the majority of the site remains preserved in situ.

Hurst Farm, Jacobs Well, Guildford

Metal detector survey by P Phillipson on the site of a USAAF Douglas C47 Skytrain aircraft that crashed on 25 October 1944. Contemporary photographs show most of the wreckage on the surface of the field. A few items probably related to the incident were recovered although nothing firmly associated with this type of aircraft, which supports a suggestion that the site was comprehensively cleared at the time.

155 High Street, Guildford

Building recording by V Boesso of MOLA prior to the reconstruction of a listed wall. The structure was noted to have been extensively rebuilt in the 19th century, but the oldest elements appeared contemporary with the nearby Guildford House, which dates to 1660. A subsequent watching brief by S Hoad of MOLA, carried out during the dismantling of the wall, revealed a well situated partially beneath the foundations that obviously pre-dated its construction.
