Geophysical survey by D Calow of SyAS. Resistivity survey within the chapel did not reveal significant results or evidence for any earlier structures, apart from the suggestion of three possible postholes. Two fairly substantial anomalies were noted 20m to the east of the chapel, although no dating evidence was noted at the surface.

Soil stripping, mapping and sampling by T Munnery of SCAU prior to residential development did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest, despite the proximity of the site to the known Saxon cemetery. A subsequent watching brief was carried out during ground reduction works for the creation of a driveway. A boundary ditch – probably a precursor to the existing bank at the northern boundary of the site – was revealed, although no date could be assigned to the feature. A single undatable worked flint was also recovered.

Watching brief by J Lowe of TVAS during the excavations for a haul road and soil storage area did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological significance. See TVAS monograph 11

Watching brief by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during stripping for a soil storage area. The truncated remains of a Bronze Age pottery vessel – possibly a placed deposit – were revealed, together with a small ditch that contained medieval pottery. See TVAS monograph 11

Watching brief by G Rapson of MOLA during underground cabling works. An area of Bronze Age activity in the form of a layer containing pottery and worked flints was revealed, as well as four undated field ditches and an apparent flint structure – also undated. A limited programme of fieldwork carried out concurrently nearby provided further evidence for prehistoric activity, as well as occasional Roman pottery.

Evaluation by P Harris of AOC prior to the construction of a noise abatement bund did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Geophysical survey by D and A Graham of SyAS on the site of an aerial photograph anomaly. Evidence for a possible field system and droveway heading in the direction of the Roman site to the south-east was revealed. Subsequent fieldwalking of the site produced some Mesolithic flakes, but no firm evidence by which the apparent features could be dated.

Survey of the limekiln beside Hambledon church by R Williams of SyAS during repair works. The feature was measured and photographed, and a small investigation revealed the floor of the kiln to be 0.75m below the current ground surface, indicating a significant build-up of material since the kiln ceased operation.

Watching brief by J Robertson of SCAU during topsoil stripping of an area to provide a site compound for use during engineering works. No features of archaeological interest were revealed, although a small quantity of probable prehistoric flint tools was recovered.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during the excavation of two pits for use in directional drilling during the insertion of a new sewer. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed, in what was an extremely limited investigation
