Watching brief by M Nicholls of LPA, undertaken during the redevelopment of a site adjacent to a Roman villa excavated in previous years. Little of archaeological interest was revealed, with evidence for a palaeochannel suggesting that this may have formed a boundary to the focus of settlement activity in the past. Roman building material was found scattered sparsely across the site.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to redevelopment revealed three ditches of probable post-medieval/recent date, at least one of which appeared to be associated with woodland drainage. A posthole of indeterminate date was also recorded.

Evaluation by R Oram of TVAS prior to commercial redevelopment revealed a number of medieval pits, probably dating to the 12th–13th centuries, at a relatively shallow depth. Early post-medieval material was also recovered, although no evidence for structures having been present on the site was noted

Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of a new garage and additional external alterations. The deep and narrow garage foundations did not allow for detailed observations, but 19th century brick and pottery was evident. During excavations for repair to a boundary wall, a small section of chalk rubble and mortar walling was revealed. The limited area of exposure meant it was not possible to establish with confidence the orientation of the feature, although previous work in the area suggests it may be a structure related to the kitchens of the former palace.

Evaluation and watching brief by J Pine of TVAS on further areas of the proposed University of Surrey expansion site, following the previous evaluation and excavation works in 2002 and 2003. The evaluation produced evidence for Early to Middle Bronze Age activity, in the form of isolated pits. Medieval activity was also noted, in the form of pits, ditches and a possible hearth. Given their proximity to the nearby moated site of Manor Farm, it is assumed that they are associated with activity relating to this site, although the dating evidence was not clear.

Excavation by NEHHAS of a Second World War anti-tank ditch. The discovery of a Roman road was also claimed, although the evidence is unconvincing

Historic Landscape Survey commissioned by SCC and SyAS and undertaken by N Bannister researching the development of the landscape of the eastern area of Hurtwood in an area triangulated between Peaslake, and the Holmbury Camp and Felday hillforts

Excavation of a test pit by P Robbins as part of the Time Team `Big Dig’ revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU, during the excavation of a small test pit prior to the installation of a lift. The wall foundations of the existing 18th century house were revealed, although no evidence for earlier structures suspected to be on the site was observed.

Evaluation by C Cowan of MoLAS during redevelopment revealed that the site had undergone comprehensive terracing in the recent past, and no finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.
