Evaluation of the site for the new student village for the West Surrey College of Art and Design was carried out by D Graham and volunteers from the Farnham & District Museum Society. One pit of unknown date was recorded as was chalk and clunch masonry possibly dumped from works at the castle. A silver denarius and a piece of Roman roof tile were recovered and presumed to derive from upslope (later survey work confirmed a concentration of such tile at SU 834 472). A metal detector survey of the site recovered a 17th century trader’s token (John Smallpeece of Guildford).

Report by A and D Graham of a sheep wash set into the dam at the outflow of Frensham Great Pond, probably constructed shortly after the commons were enclosed in 1851. (286)

Building works within the standing building, which dates to the late 16th century, revealed a number of features subsequently recorded by D Graham. A small mortar-lined conical pit containing solidified lead was identified, presumably the remains of a furnace associated with lead working. No dating evidence was recovered, but the furnace must pre-date the standing building and appeared to be later than a stone floor, apparently of 13th century date, which was also recorded. From evidence elsewhere in the town, it is thought likely that the furnace dates to the early 16th century (292)

A watching brief by A and D Graham on works within the standing Tudor building recorded a Bargate Stone lined well, dating to at least 1700, and a thin ashy layer containing 13th century coarse and white wares as well as fragments of ashlar masonry. These remains presumably relate to a medieval precursor to the existing building, known from documentary evidence. (294)
