Evaluation by R Lambert of SCAU revealed a number of features dating to the Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and suggestive of a field system, with evidence for a sustained period of occupation. Alluvial hillwash deposits revealed may have the potential to inform and reconstruct the prehistoric environment, while a ditch dating to the Early Roman period could suggest continued occupation on the site throughout the Iron Age. Several post-medieval features were also revealed.

Evaluation by B Hennessy of WA prior to residential redevelopment. No features of archaeological interest were revealed, although a small assemblage of prehistoric flint flakes recovered from subsoil deposits is indicative of general activity in the area.

Evaluation by H Moore of TVAS prior to the construction of an extension revealed that the site had been extensively truncated down to the natural geology, apparently during the 19th century.

Evaluation and watching brief by D Jamieson of MoLAS prior to redevelopment. A limited number of late post-medieval (19th century) features were revealed, including what appeared to be the heavily truncated remains of a blacksmith’s workshop that formerly stood on the site. Most of the area had however been severely damaged by the construction of the supermarket, which had occupied the site until its recent demolition.

Ongoing evaluation, continuing from the work carried out in 2003, by A Taylor of TVAS in advance of possible mineral extraction on this site. Material recovered included stray and residual finds of Upper Palaeolithic date, as well as Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age flintwork. Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval pottery was also found as well as occupation evidence of Bronze Age, Iron Age, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval dates.

Evaluation by J Robertson and excavation by P Jones of SCAU on the phase 7 and 8 area of this ongoing minerals extraction site. The evaluation produced evidence of a field system of predominantly post-medieval date, as well as a number of ditches of uncertain and probably various dates. Three areas revealed features that contained material indicative of prehistoric and Saxon dates. Further excavation of the phase 7 area uncovered further non-structural Saxon features, as well as a discrete area containing a scatter of struck flints.

Evaluation by G Mabbott of WA prior to residential redevelopment revealed a small pit of indeterminate date.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU prior to the construction of an extension to a property standing within the Scheduled area of the former Chertsey Abbey. A number of archaeological layers were revealed, the earliest of which appeared to date from around the time of the Norman reconstruction of the abbey which began in 1110, possibly during clearance of the site prior to construction works.

Note by J Lander, acting on behalf of EH, on observations made during the excavation of two fence postholes in the area of the Scheduled Abbey reports that the holes cut into redeposited material.

Evaluation by I Williamson of AS preceding residential development revealed no archaeological finds or features. However, peat deposits were encountered. Pollen and diatom analysis of samples indicated a changing landscape during the Mesolithic period in the area, beginning with an open ground grass-dominated landscape with areas of standing water, progressing through differing woodland types until the sequence ended at around 7000 BP, with alder carr woodland becoming the dominant vegetation.
