Land west of Long Lane, Stanwell

Watching brief by S Mead of MoLAS, for Sandville Properties, following on from evaluation of the site in 1997. Both this evaluation and investigations at the adjacent Cargo Point development in 1997 had revealed a number of features of possible prehistoric and post-medieval date. The watching brief demonstrated that the majority of archaeological activity was concentrated at the northern end of the development site, where what appeared to be a series of boundary or roadside ditches were recorded. These ditches were also seen on the adjacent site and are thought to be of 18th century date.

Pound Road, Chertsey

Evaluation by H Knight of MoLAS in advance of a new office development. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed by trial trenching, which showed that the site had been extensively quarried in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. However borehole testing elsewhere suggested that part of the site may still retain undisturbed soil horizons of possible archaeological significance.

The Rodds Site, 10-11 Bridge Street, Walton-on-Thames

Evaluation by N Roycroft of MoLAS in advance of redevelopment revealed a ploughed soil containing occasional sherds of medieval pottery; and two linear features that may have formed a property boundary, and seem to be associated with three cesspits dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The structures relating to the post-medieval features were not located during the evaluation, probably because they are associated with the street frontages of Church Street and possibly Bridge Street.
