Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU prior to an extension to the hotel. Roman structural evidence had previously been recorded on the site during archaeological observations in 1982. No repetition of this evidence was noted, although a fluvial clay was recorded at the base of the sequence, which apparently corresponded to a layer previously observed. This was overlain by a pebbly soil of medieval date with post-medieval rubble layers above, suggesting that some horizontal truncation of parts of the site had occurred

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE with one trench revealing three apparent ditch termini, two of which contained fragmentary Iron Age/Early Roman pottery. Extension of the area revealed two additional gullies, neither of which provided any dating evidence. A second phase of evaluation is planned.

Evaluation by A Cetera of MoLAS, as part of an ongoing programme of site investigations undertaken prior to and during redevelopment. Only a single trench was investigated in this instance with no finds or features of archaeological significance being revealed.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU prior to building works located within the Scheduled area of the former Chertsey Abbey. Wall foundations probably relating to the Frater and Dorter ranges of the former abbey were revealed, although of principal note was the large extent of post-medieval disturbance revealed, indicating that significant damage to the medieval structures had taken place during the post-Dissolution period.

Geophysical survey and assessment by R Poulton of SCAU and A Bartlett of Bartlett-Clark Consultancy. Topographic survey, coupled with resistivity, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar sweeps of the site of the former Chertsey Beomonds manor were undertaken. The area most likely to contain the remains of the manor house provided disappointing results from all the techniques used, with little evidence for structural remains discerned.

Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU revealed a considerable layer of post-medieval made-ground, with some residual medieval pottery also present. However, no excavation was undertaken through this deposit.

Evaluation by S Hammond of TVAS revealed a number of ditches and linear gullies of late post-medieval date, probably relating to the previous use of the site as allotments. A single small pit was found to contain a very small amount of charcoal and burnt bone and is probably of an earlier date, but no definite dating evidence was found to confirm this.

Evaluation by R Lambert of SCAU prior to residential redevelopment of a former playing field. A Mesolithic feature and a Bronze Age cremation represented the only earlier prehistoric activity on the site. However, a number of postholes and a large pit were dated to the Middle Iron Age and indicated an intensification of activity during this period. It was considered that these features may relate to a settlement of this date in the area – possibly in areas adjacent to the site developed for housing prior to PPG16 and therefore not investigated.

Evaluation by H Knight of MoLAS revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.
