A watching brief was maintained by J Perry of SutAS, for Elf Oil UK Ltd, in advance of partial rebuilding and refurbishing the existing service station on the site. Documentery and geotechnical evidence indicates that the site lies on part of the mill pond of Upper Mill, which could be one of two mills in the area mentioned in Domesday. The work is ongoing but has not revealed anything of archaeological interest as yet.

Survey of the archaeological and historic landscape around Chelsham by C Currie of CKC Archaeology, for SCC and SyAS, with reference to them being proposed as Areas of Historic Landscape Value. The work is ongoing and is being carried out as part of the Community Archaeological Programme. The survey is still at an early stage, but an initial scan has revealed a number of sites of archaeological interest including three enclosures thought to be of medieval date. (Link to vol 1 below.

Watching brief by J D Matthews of BSAG, during the construction of an extension to the pub revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, for Hepworth Minerals and Chemicals Ltd, on an area proposed for mineral extraction. No significant finds or features were revealed, although previous work nearby in 1995 had produced material of predominantly prehistoric date.

A watching brief was maintained by M Dover of SCAU, for Southwark DAC. The unrendered greensand stone fabric of the church wall was exposed, together with the foundations for four buttresses. One of these appeared to be contemporary with the construction of the church, with the two others being later brick built features. The date of the fourth buttress was unclear, but possibly thought to be a rebuild or repair of an original feature.

Watching brief by J Stevenson of SCAU, for Archean Energy (U.K.) Ltd, on groundworks associated with the exploratory work for a well site on land adjacent to the sewage works. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

A watching brief was maintained by J Stevenson of SCAU, for the church, on groundworks associated with the construction of a new drain and toilets. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed. No inhumations were disturbed and no stray finds or human bones were recovered from removed spoil.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, for Hepworth Minerals and Chemicals Ltd, on an area permitted for mineral extraction. Much of the site was found to have been disturbed previously, reducing the likelihood of archaeological remains surviving. Only one possible archaeological feature, a ditch containing no dating evidence, was revealed.

Watching brief carried out by C Hasler of SyAS on the site of a mobile telephone mast. The site lay directly above the line of the London-Lewes Roman road, which was revealed in the 3x3m foundation pit for the mast. The road was found to be composed of a pebble surface, approximately 0.10m thick, overlying a flint layer of 0.12-0.15m thickness. The width of the road is estimated to be about 6m, although it was apparent that some damage had been caused to the feature previously, probably during the excavation of nearby ponds, and during site levelling which took place 40-60 years ago.

Watching brief carried out by J Stevenson of SCAU during the construction of an extension demonstrated that the area had been heavily disturbed by many years of burials. No trace of any features relating to a possible earlier church on the site were noted.
