Byfleet Manor, Mill Lane, Byfleet
Building recording and assessment by PAYE Conservation on the Dietterlin-style entry gate pillars prior to their repositioning and restoration. The pillars are assessed as being of typical Jacobean style, although they are recorded in the listing as being 18th century in the Mannerist style. Previous 20th century repairs, using inappropriate materials, were found to have accelerated their deterioration. The gates and pillars are recorded as present in the 1680s (SyAC 50, 102).
Moor Lane Farm Barn, Moor Lane, Woking
Appraisal by M Higgins of SCC to determine the historic development of the building and its possible future use recorded a nine-bay, single-aisled barn constructed in four phases. The first phase is a four-bay threshing barn with an aisle, punctured by a midstrey (gabled) porch, a butt-purlin and rafter roof with inclined queen posts, is most likely of late 17th or early 18th century date. The second phase, of a similar construction, extended the barn by one bay to the east in the late 17th or early 18th century.
Broadoaks, West Byfleet
Evaluation by T Brown of CA targeting areas not investigated during previous archaeological work associated with redevelopment in 2001-2, identified significant areas of modern disturbance associated with subsequent construction in 2008. There were only two features of possible archaeological significance - an undated ditch that truncated an earlier undated ditch.
Hoe Bridge School, Old Woking Road, Old Woking
Watching brief of foundation trenches by J Frowde of PHFA revealed no features of archaeological significance, possibly due to the limited depth and extent of the groundworks, although twelve 19th century glass bottles were recovered during excavations following the demolition of an extension to the original school chapel.
Rear of London House, 134 High Street, Old Woking
Evaluation by J Payne of SCAU identified an undisturbed subsoil horizon across the south and west of the site, a post-medieval wall foundation and two probable postholes of medieval date.
Land at Egley Road, Woking
Watching brief by L McCaig of WA following a previous evaluation of the site in 2015 that revealed evidence for prehistoric activity on or in the vicinity (SyAC 100, 293), identified a single undated ditch, most probably a former field boundary.

West Hall, Parvis Road, West Byfleet
Evaluation and watching brief by I Howell and historic building survey by H Robertson of MOLA. The evaluation revealed the northern and southern edges of a water feature shown on maps of 1768, 1801 and 1841, and several red brick footings that appear to have belonged to two phases of greenhouse construction. Groundworks within the area of the water feature were subject to the watching brief, but the majority of these were not deep enough to expose the cut of the feature, and it was not possible to ascertain its function.
Horsell Common, Woking
Excavation of a trench across the westernmost bell barrow on Horsell Common by volunteers from SyAS under the direction of D and A Graham, with further assistance from members of the Horsell Common Preservation Society. The work, carried out in advance of footpath diversion and restoration works, highlighted that the barrow had been subject to a large number of 19th and 20th century interventions, but that much of the original structure survived intact. See D Graham, A Graham, N P Branch and M Simmonds, this volume, 125-40. (435)
