Evaluation by GMVEU revealed a well that had been backfilled in or before the 18th century. Stylistically, the well is probably 13th-14th century in date. (292)

A watching brief by GMVEU recorded a large 19th century strong room at the rear of the property. An early medieval well was also recorded. (292)

A watching brief by GMVEU on a cable trench cut down the High Street recorded only one feature: a pit containing a mid-17th century pipe stem. (292)

A watching brief by GMVEU recorded a possible undercroft of 12th-13th century date. (292)

Report by Mary Alexander on a piece of green porphyry recovered from a securely dated mid-late 13th century layer during excavation by the Guildford Group of the SyAS, in 1981. Porphyry is only known from two medieval contexts in England: Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. This piece must be a discard from work being carried out at the castle, possibly associated with a chapel known to have been constructed in 1268 for Eleanor of Castile. (291)

Examination of the cellars by GMVEU found them to be 18th-19th century in date and connected by a now bricked-in passageway to the Angel Hotel’s cellars, next door. (292)

Examination of the cellars by GMVEU led to the discovery of an infilled chamber which, when excavated, was found to be a small room built of dressed chalk of which a little over a metre in height survived above floor level. The remains of what appeared to be blind arcading above a ledge survived, with doorways at the north west and south east corners of the chamber. Stylistically the room appears late 12th century in date. The rubble infilling the room contained material no earlier than the 1270s. (300)

Evaluation by GMVEU to the rear of the standing buildings recorded chalk-block walls and chalk quarrying pits, all of 13th to 14th century date. (292)

Examination of the cellars by GMVEU, who recorded large chalk-block walls. (292)

Excavation by GMVEU within the standing building, built c1600, revealed a thick black layer containing material of mid-12th to mid-14th century date. Several features cut into the natural chalk below this layer were also investigated. (292)
