Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU, for Gleeson Homes, in an area of the former hospital site where Iron Age/Romano British material was discovered c.1959. The area tested was found to have been extensively disturbed and no features or finds of archaeological interest were noted. Geophysical survey of the remaining areas of the hospital site to be redeveloped was carried out by the Bartlett-Clark Consultancy and some interesting anomalies were recorded. (321)

Evaluation in advance of redevelopment of this industrial site, in the vicinity of the medieval settlement of Wiggie, was carried out by R Poulton of SCAU for Schroder Exempt Property Unit Trust. The evaluation revealed that much of the site had been disturbed, presumably during the construction of the existing buildings. The northern third of the site was found not to have been affected, but no features or finds of archaeological interest were noted in this area. (321)

A watching brief was maintained on the redevelopment of this site by L Pollinger of TVAS for Persimmon Homes. The site was found to have been extensively disturbed by the construction of former buildings. The only feature of archaeological interest identified was a possible wall of rough uncut stone blocks close to and approximately parallel with the eastern boundary of the site; no dating evidence was recovered.

Report by P Tarplee on research into the estate’s hydraulic rams, by the Surrey Gardens Trust. The rams were supplied in 1922 by Green & Carter of Somerset, who have comprehensive records dating back to 1836. These show that a ram was supplied to the estate in 1875. One was also supplied in 1851, with valves for another ram, presumably installed before the start of the existing records. (SIHG 101)

Evaluation and watching brief by G Pattison of SCAU, for C Bell (Tadworth) Ltd, as part of the construction of a golf course. No features were recorded during the evaluation, and the only finds were a couple of pieces of medieval pottery (Eyhurst Farm dates to the 14th century). A few pieces of struck flint were recovered during the watching brief. (314)

A rapid survey of this area was undertaken by C Currie for SCC’s Planning Dept, as part of an ongoing project considering Areas of Historic Landscape Value. No historic landscape features of significance were noted.

Evaluation by C Currie, for the Hampton Land & Estates Ltd, of this site adjacent to the castle. The only features of note were three ditches that probably formed part of a late medieval or early post-medieval field system. (319)

A watching brief by J Stevenson of SCAU was maintained on the redevelopment of this site for Cooper Estates Ltd. The watching brief was not commissioned until the groundworks were well advanced. In the limited number of foundation trenches still open two Greensand walls were observed, which probably relate to a building of 13th or 14th century date; these are very probably walls identified in the 1988/9 excavation.

A watching brief by SCAU, for Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, on the excavation of geotechnical test pits on the site of a proposed extension found one showing possible archaeological stratigraphy. A subsequent watching brief by D W Williams on the excavation of further test pits recorded what may be the line of the castle moat. A wide and shallow ditch is suggested, the silt of which contained 13th century pottery. To the east of this, traces of a 13th century plough soil were recorded. (321)
