24 Petworth Road, Haselmere

Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU, for Overson Ltd, in advance of residential development. A shallow gully was revealed, aligned approximately north east-south west. Excavation produced a white ware rim sherd and several sandy ware sherds of later medieval date. It seems likely that this feature represents an earlier demarcation of the boundary of this plot, possibly as part of the setting out of the town

Land off 11 Nutshell Lane, Farnham

Evaluation and watching brief by M Dover of SCAU, on behalf of David James Contracts, revealed three narrow gullies. One of the gullies produced two sherds of Roman grey ware pottery. The fills of the features were very similar and it could be that the two remaining gullies are of Roman date, although this remains uncertain. The paucity of finds from these features, and the absence of other finds or features during the evaluation and watching brief, would suggest that these are boundary features at some distance from any occupation area.

Runfold Farm, near Badshot Lea

Following evaluation in 1997, a series of watching briefs was carried out by N Marples of SCAU, for Pioneer Aggregates Ltd, on preliminary soil stripping of part of this mineral extraction site. Part of a rectilinear field system was recorded: three interconnected boundary features running east-west were identified together with a series of re-cut ditches running north-south, which delimited the eastern end of the grid. The date of the field system is unclear.

Hatch Mill, Farnham

Evaluation by C Currie, for Abbeyfield (Wey Valley) Society Ltd, in advance of residential development adjacent to the mill. Large scale modern disturbance was revealed. A crude wall of mid 19th century date is thought to be a revetment to the former mill stream. The wall contained re-used stone, apparently from an ecclesiastical building, including a fine late 12th or 13th century carved capital.
