Evaluation by F Raymond of BAS identified significant Bronze Age deposits concentrated on a plateau of land in the south-eastern part of the site, and this area was subsequently excavated. Activity commenced during the Mesolithic period, and is marked by the presence of a flint scatter from the southern part of the site. There were no concentrations of flint and no features, suggesting the principal focus, if there is one, lies or lay to the south and east. The focus of Early and Middle Bronze Age activity was located on the eastern side of the site.

Report by P Arnold on dendrochronological analysis of an oak door reveals that the door was constructed from four planks, probably from the same tree, felled between 1106 and 1138. (400)

Monitoring by C Pine of DAS during the excavation of geotechnical pits and groundworks for building and car park extensions, observed residual medieval pottery, three fragments of clay pipe stem and oyster shells in the topsoil, and a small pit containing medieval tile and 19th century glass.

Monitoring by S Kemp of EA during topsoil removal for the creation of a works compound did not identify any archaeological finds or features.

Evaluation by T Malim of GAP encountered extensive remains of 19th century structures relating to gunpowder manufacture on the site, although little evidence for earlier activity was observed

Evaluation by P Copeland of McCurdy & Co prior to redevelopment within the Scheduled area of Guildford Castle. Evidence for extensive post-medieval modification was revealed, although only residual medieval pottery indicated earlier activity, in an investigation that ceased at the formation levels of the proposed development. It was thought likely that earlier remains lay deeper in the sequence, but these were not revealed.

Geophysical survey by S Stowe of Stratascan on land proposed for motorway services revealed extensive magnetic disturbance likely to be related to construction of the motorway. Positive linear anomalies were revealed and may represent former field boundaries, but more subtle anomalies may be masked by the large amount of magnetic disturbance.

Monitoring by N Adam of AC Archaeology during the development of new recreational facilities and associated roads and car parking. A moderate quantity of burnt flint and a small number of worked flint pieces (likely to be of Mesolithic or Neolithic origin) were recovered from topsoil and subsoil horizons, but mixed with modern debris

Geoarchaeological monitoring by C Green of ArchS in advance of construction of a replacement house. The monitoring allowed recording of the nature of the sub-surface sediments at the site. No finds were detected in situ, but a single impact flint flake was recovered from the spoil.
